Stellantis Recognizes Top Suppliers

The second-annual Stellantis Supplier Awards highlight the accomplishments of 12 suppliers across nine categories.

Stellantis announced it honored 12 of its global suppliers across nine categories for their outstanding quality, commitment, and operational excellence in 2021. 

Maxime Picat, chief purchasing and supply chain officer, and other members of Stellantis’ top executive team, announced the award winners during a virtual event with more than 100 suppliers in attendance. 

“Congratulations to all 12 winners for their exceptional contribution to Stellantis,” said Picat. “They are the proof that whatever the environment, great teams can make the difference. Being able to properly plan and execute in that context is a real competitive advantage, creating value for all stakeholders. Both Stellantis’ ambition and the current environment will lead us to strengthen our partnerships and to find new solutions, new business models and new opportunities together with our business partners.” 

In related news, as outlined in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis says it also announced plans to reach 100% of passenger car BEV sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in North America while reducing complexity and lowering the cost by 40%. These targets are a key focus of the purchasing and supply chain team as Stellantis moves to provide clean, safe and affordable transportation for all.

“With your innovation and efficiency and our scale and great strategic plan, we can create together huge value and contribute to clean, safe and affordable mobility for our end customers,” Picat told suppliers. “But to do so, we need to reinforce our relationships. I strongly believe in the importance of supplier relations. More communication. More transparency. More shared vision of the future.”
