Quality Manager Jerry Workman went to Pontiac, Michigan, in December to meet with Supplier Quality Engineer Narendra Jagmohan of GM and receive the award. Jagmohan appreciated Raybestos Powertrain’s effort put into each shipment and congratulated the Sullivan plant on the accomplishment.
“Raybestos Powertrain made this possible by having good working relationships with GM, responding to concerns in a timely manner, and ensuring that employees understand their responsibilities of efficiently and effectively manufacturing parts,” said Workman.
