Adient was recently recognized for a fourth consecutive year with the 2024 GM Supplier of the Year award from our customer General Motors (GM).

Receiving this recognition for four straight years is a tremendous accomplishment. The Supplier of the Year award recognizes distinguished global suppliers that exceed GM’s requirements, in turn providing GM customers with innovative technologies and the highest quality in the automotive industry. 

“Adient is proud to continue our strong partnership with General Motors and we are humbled by the recognition for our performance.  It takes significant and consistent effort by our entire team to be recognized as a seating Supplier of the Year for the fourth year in a row,” said Jim Conklin, executive vice president of Adient Americas.

Adient’s relationship with General Motors dates to 1987 when our former parent company, Johnson Controls, bought Hoover Universal. In 1998, Detroit-based Bridgewater Interiors was formed as a joint venture between Epsilon Technologies and Johnson Controls to manufacture automotive seating systems for GM. Its initial five-year GM contract was the largest an automaker had ever awarded a minority-owned business.

Congratulations and thank you to the GM Business Unit and the many plants and employees supporting our customer GM.
