These suppliers were identified and rated based on strategic spend, contract compliance, actions taken to improve 3M’s relevance and overall supplier performance (quality, delivery, responsiveness, cost, and technology roadmaps).

Jim Lundquist, AWT CEO stated “We are delighted to be presented the 3M Supplier of the Year Award, and we thank 3M for this great honor. AWT has been doing business with 3M for decades, and they’ve taught us how to be a great supplier to all our customers. 3M is always moving forward with state of the art management programs and efficiency directives. These constant improvements are reflected in 3Ms consistent success throughout the years. We look forward to continuing to grow with the 3M team into the future.”

These partnerships help us to serve our customers with innovative and valuable solutions. It’s important that we recognize our most outstanding suppliers, and that’s what this award is all about.”
