SANTA CATARINA, Mexico, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors recognized KATCON as a 2022 Supplier of the Year. GM celebrated honorees at its 31st annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony in San Antonio, Texas.
GM's Supplier of the Year award recognizes global suppliers that distinguish themselves by exceeding GM's requirements, in turn providing customers with innovative technologies and among the highest quality in the automotive industry. This is the 5th time KATCON has received the award and the 3rd in the last 7 years.
