The theme of this year’s award ceremony was ‘Partners in Success’ and Bosch presented the coveted awards before an audience of some 100 representatives of the supply industry earlier this week.
Murata has long been more than a mere supplier of parts and components for Bosch and the strong partnership in development and innovation which exists between the two companies helps Bosch stay competitive.
The strength of the partnership is evident from the seven previous awards presented to Murata by Bosch over the past fourteen years.
Accepting the award for Murata, Gert Hohenberger (pictured fourth from left) said: “We are very proud to receive this award seven times in row and for the first time in two product categories. This proves the esteem Murata’s customers and partners hold us in.”
