"Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH (SW) has received the Bosch Global Supplier Award and thus ranks globally among the best suppliers to Bosch, the supplier of technology and services," said a company spokesperson. SW, with headquarters in Schramberg-Waldmössingen, Germany, is an expanding manufacturer of manufacturing systems and received the award in the category Purchasing of indirect materials.
From its roughly 43,000 suppliers, Bosch singled out 47 suppliers from 15 countries for an award. This is the 16th time that the Bosch Group has rewarded outstanding performance in the manufacture and supply of products or services - notably as concerns quality, costs, innovation and logistics.
For Bosch, suppliers are also partners in development and innovation who help the company stay competitive. Bosch relies on partners who share the company's long-term competitive objectives. Partners who are willing to collaborate closely with the company can be involved at an early stage in strategies and development projects and gain useful insights into future requirements.
Andreas Reutter, Head of Supply Chain Management at Robert Bosch GmbH, said, "With the Bosch Global Supplier Award, we pay tribute to our best suppliers around the world. The award winners have achieved outstanding levels of excellence, and work with us in an exceptional spirit of partnership. From technological expertise to logistical quality and entrepreneurial potential - our award-winners have it all."
