Chrysler LLC honors 10 Top-Performing Suppliers during 2008 North American
International Auto Show
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Chrysler LLC recognized
its top-performing suppliers in 2007 at the company's Supplier Pentastar
Awards ceremony, Wednesday evening at the Detroit Fire Department's
historic 1929 Firehouse. Approximately 400 attendees, including top
executives from the auto industry's global supply base, were present for
the awards ceremony. The event, which recognizes Chrysler and its
suppliers' shared vision for collaboration and innovation, is the first for
the automaker since becoming a private concern in 2007.
"Our suppliers play a critical role in Chrysler's ability to meet our
customers' demands for vehicles with outstanding quality and innovative
technology," said Chrysler Executive Vice President - Procurement John
Campi. "We are proud to recognize their outstanding performance and
continued contribution to our success with the Chrysler Supplier Pentastar
Award."
The recipients of the 2007 Chrysler Supplier Pentastar Awards were
selected based in part upon the unanimous decision of senior members of the
Chrysler Procurement, Supplier Quality and Supply organizations, and the
supplier's performance as measured by Chrysler's External Balance Scorecard
-- a fact-based system that measures the critical value drivers of quality,
technology, cost and delivery -- factors the company uses to determine
sourcing strategies.

About the Award and the Designer
The Chrysler Supplier Pentastar award was created by Mark Pavlovski, a
2007 graduate of Detroit's College for Creative Studies (CCS). Weighing 6
pounds, 8 ounces and standing 16 inches tall, the trophy is constructed of
automotive components such as rubber, glass, metal and wood. Since 2002,
Chrysler (formerly DaimlerChrysler) has called upon CCS students to design
a unique commemorative trophy. Pavlovski, a Detroit native, was awarded
$3,000 for submitting this year's winning design. Currently he resides in
Boston, Massachusetts where he designs and builds furniture.
