TFC’s manufacturing partner, Smalley was presented with the 2017 General Motors Supplier Quality Excellence Award, marking the sixth consecutive year Smalley has achieved this prestigious honour. 175 suppliers were presented with this award in 2017, but Smalley was just one of five who have received it six years in a row.

Standards to be met included:

  • No late delivery times
  • No plant disruptions/unauthorised changes
