Nucor Corporation was presented with the Volkswagen Group Award 2017, given to Volkswagen’s best suppliers, at a ceremony held in Berlin at the end of June.
The award recognizes Volkswagen’s suppliers for their innovative strength, product quality, development competence, sustainability, and professional project management. Nucor chairman, chief executive officer and president John Ferriola accepted the award on behalf of Nucor’s 24,000 teammates.
In addressing award recipients, Volkswagen chief executive officer Matthias Müller talked about the important role partnerships play in successfully navigating the transformations occurring in the automotive industry. “We must make further progress together and become better and better. Never before have not only the pressure, but also the opportunities been as great as they are today. If we are willing to change, we can successfully master the transformation in our industry,” Müller said.
The Volkswagen Group recognized a total of 19 suppliers. Nucor was the only steel provider and one of only two U.S.-based companies to receive the award.
