SOUTHFIELD, MI — Federal-Mogul recently received four supplier awards from Sears, Roebuck and Co. for 2004. They include Supplier of the Year in the automotive segment and a Partner in Progress award.
Federal-Mogul also received Supplier of the Year for Quality in both the automotive segment and the larger hardlines segment for its Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads and shoes.
The awards are presented annually to a select group of supplier companies that have provided Sears with quality products and services, from apparel, appliances and tools, to marketing, transportation services and technology.
Joe Felicelli, executive vice president, Worldwide Aftermarket Operations and Bob Egan, vice president, Aftermarket Sales – the Americas, for Federal-Mogul, represented the company at an event hosted by Sears Holdings Corporation Vice Chairman and CEO Alan Lacy at the company’s headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill. on April 12.
“Earning these awards in our first full year of working with Sears is a great honor,” said Felicelli. “They underscore Federal-Mogul’s commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality products, service, delivery and value improvement.”
Started more than 20 years ago, the Partners in Progress program recognizes suppliers that make significant contributions to the growth of Sears’ businesses and the creation of new ways to better serve Sears’ customers. The winners were selected from nominations submitted by Sears’ employees who purchase goods and services for the company. Less than one percent of Sears’ more than 10,000 suppliers receive the Partners in Progress awards.
“To be recognized as a Partner in Progress highlights the outstanding teamwork between both organizations in offering an exceptional customer experience,” said Egan.
“Strong and productive supplier relationships are critical to the achievement of our business goals,” Lacy said. “We’re pleased to have the opportunity, through our Partners in Progress program, to recognize Sears suppliers’ who have gone the extra mile to support our company over the past year.”
