SOUTHFIELD, MI -- Federal-Mogul has received the prestigious Silver Award from Group Auto Union International (GAUI) at a recent meeting of its shareholders in Paris, France. The GAUI awards are given annually based on a vote of its members across 20 European countries. Federal-Mogul was selected for this recognition from a field of 37 eligible suppliers.

GAUI is one of the largest networks of spare parts distributors in Europe. The GAUI awards are granted based on key performance criteria, including: service, product performance, representation, technical support and marketing. Federal-Mogul's overall performance rating increased consistently in the past two years, as a result of a continuous focus on product quality and range, marketing, sales efforts and representation.

"We are extremely honored to receive this high level of recognition from GAUI," said Mauro Parisi, Federal-Mogul's vice president, Aftermarket Products and Services, Europe, Middle-East and Africa. "Last year we received the Bronze Award. Achieving the Silver Award is evidence of our relentless pursuit of quality excellence and customer satisfaction. I am proud of the employee dedication and efforts that have made this possible. We look forward to continuing this positive trend in the future."

Parisi accepted the award along with Michael Coullie, general manager sales, Western Europe; Pavel Dusil, general manager sales, Eastern Europe; Gary Sheriff business manager, UK; and Salvatore Nicchi, groups director.
