Remy Automotive Brazil supplies MAN Latin America with a number of starters, alternators and magnetic switches that are used in VW branded trucks, buses, and special vehicles produced in Brazil.
"We are honored to receive this award. Remy has always been driven by a passion for excellence. Receiving the MAN Latin America Supply Award is an example of that passionate drive and the result of delivering world-class design, manufacturing and service to our customers," said Bernardo Milioni Garcia, OE Sales and Applications Senior Manager for Brazil and South America.
This award distinguishes Remy for its commercial contribution throughout 2009 which helped to create ideal conditions for a strong 2010. Worldwide sales of heavy duty commercial vehicles manufactured at MAN's factory in Resende – Rio de Janeiro will reach approximately 67,000 units, increased by more than 50% over the previous year.
MAN Latin America is a part of the MAN Group, one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles and diesel engines. MAN Latin America leads the truck market in Brazil with a market share of more than 30 percent. In 2008 MAN purchased Brazil's largest truck maker, Volkswagen Truck and Bus from Volkswagen.
Remy has had a strong relationship with MAN Latin America and has enjoyed the shared growth over the years as MAN's market share continues to increase as the leader in truck sales in South America.
As of 2010, Remy sales in the Heavy Duty market in South America have expanded at a compound annual growth rate of more than 40 percent over the past three years by taking advantage of strong growth in Brazil and important partnerships established with key customers in this region.
