Navistar recently revealed its 2022 Supplier Excellence Awards, which recognize top performing suppliers from around the world across a variety of industries.
The 2022 awards spotlight suppliers in two major categories: Performance and Leadership. The Performance Awards honor excellence in performance across quality, delivery, cost, and continuous improvement, measured through performance scorecards, ranking four recipients from platinum to bronze, Navistar said.
