This is the 16th time and 15th consecutive year that Fanuc has won this award, an achievement that signifies our continued effort to provide automation solutions that help our customers solve their production challenges.”
Shilpan Amin, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain stated, “Our suppliers play a key role in delivering the products, services and experiences our customers deserve – and these award-winning suppliers went above and beyond our expectations.
“We also believe it’s important at this point in time to thank our entire supply base for their efforts the last few months to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19,” added Amin. “Not only have we been able to safely restart our manufacturing operations, our suppliers played a key role in assisting our initiatives to increase the supply of ventilators and personal protection equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers to help save lives and keep communities safe.”
