LIVONIA, Mich. -- The Bartech Group received the General Motors 2007 Supplier of the Year award for its significant contributions to GM's global product and performance achievements. The 16th annual award - themed the "Best of the Best" - was given during ceremonies Saturday, April 26 at the Sawgrass Marriott Hotel in Jacksonville, Fla. The Bartech Group also won this highly coveted and most recognized award in the automotive industry last year.

"GM is proud to honor The Bartech Group as a GM Supplier of the Year winner," said Bo Andersson, GM group vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. "This award is our way of telling the winners that we appreciate all of their efforts in working together with GM to manufacture world-class vehicles."

"Bartech is among the best of the best," he continued. "They understand that our mutual success can only be achieved by sharing common goals and priorities."

Bartech Group's Chairman and President, Jon E. Barfield, said, "We are honored to receive this prestigious award from General Motors both for our performance throughout 2006, as well as 2007. General Motors was our first customer in 1977, more than 30 years ago. The scope of our activities at Bartech surrounding our talent acquisition and management offerings in professional staffing support, contingent workforce management, and business consulting services broadens our capacity to add value to General Motors over the years to come."

The GM Supplier of the Year award began as a global program in 1992. Winners are selected by a global team of executives from purchasing, engineering, manufacturing and logistics who base their decisions on supplier performance in quality, service, technology and price. This year, General Motors honored 97 suppliers for their outstanding performance throughout 2007.
