NEUSS, Germany, October 10, 2013/PRNewswire/ - Johnson Controls, a global leader in automotive interiors, honored its top-performing interiors suppliers during a European Supplier Awards ceremony.

A total of 14 suppliers received the awards, which were presented yesterday afternoon in the Classic Remise in Düsseldorf.

The European Supplier Awards 2013, which are comprised of Performance Awards and Leadership Awards, are given by the company for special achievements on the European continent in the categories of injection-molding components, plastics and resins, chemicals, foams, fabric and leather cutting, natural fibers, and metal components.

"As a global leader in the automotive industry, our suppliers play a crucial part in our success." The selection criteria are based on key factors such as quality, cost, logistics, design, technology, and service. Depending on the total number of points achieved, Johnson Controls awarded suppliers a Supplier Performance Award in gold, silver or bronze.

This year's Gold Supplier Performance Award was presented to IZO-BLOK SP Z.O.O., a Polish manufacturer of foamed plastic parts. SIKA Automotive GmbH from Germany and the Belgian company Total Research & Technology both received Silver awards.
