The 16th annual awards — themed the “Best of the Best” — were given during ceremonies Saturday, April 26, at the Sawgrass Marriott Hotel in Jacksonville, Fla.
“We are proud to honour both Cosma and Decoma as Supplier of the Year winners in 2007,” said Bo Andersson, GM group vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.
