Bombardier awarded three of its top performing aerospace suppliers with Diamond Certification during its 2019 Aerospace Suppliers Symposium in Montreal. The suppliers were recognized for their sustained excellence in operational performance and competitiveness in 2018, as well as their continued commitment to improvement.
“The Diamond Award Supplier program ensures the most engaged and efficient professionals in the industry work together to meet Bombardier’s objectives and exceed customer expectations,” said Sam Abdelmalek, chief transformation and supply chain officer, Bombardier Inc.
Suppliers with Diamond Certification build a true long-term relationship with Bombardier and receive immediate and long-term advantages, such as recognition and guaranteed participation in new bids.
