GGB France EURL, formerly Glacier Garlock Bearings, was one of 13 companies to receive the 2008 KEIPER supplier award. GGB won the award for entrepreneurial performance; it was also presented to suppliers for quality, innovation, and supply chain capabilities.

“This award represents a quest for perfection,” said KEIPER Vice President of Global Purchasing Stephen Adam. “The winners are partners we can depend on in times of crisis; they are capable of jumping higher hurdles. We work with them today to ascertain what will be in demand tomorrow, and position ourselves to be at the starting line when the economy recovers.”

Based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and part of the KEIPER Recaro Group, KEIPER engineers and manufactures intelligent metal seat components and multifunctional seat structures for carmakers and suppliers. With nearly 6,500 employees in 11 countries and annual sales of more than #8364;800 million, the company is the world’s leading producer of standardized seat recliners.

“It is truly an honor to be recognized by such as prestigious supplier to the global automotive industry,” said GGB Industrial Sales Manager Marco Kleinhans. “It is also a testament to all the GGB support staff that played a role in our award-winning performance.” For more information, e-mail france@ggbearings.com or visit www.ggbearings.com.
