PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), received recognition for Performance Excellence by American Honda Motor Company, Inc., for outstanding uniform services provided at five automotive plants in Ohio and Indiana, it was announced today. 

The 2014 Honda Indirect Products and Services Maintenance, Repair and Operational (MRO) Supplier awards were recently presented at a ceremony during Honda's annual MRO conference in Columbus, Ohio. The Performance Excellence award specifically distinguished providers for exceeding performance standards such as quality, cost and delivery targets, and service expectations.
