Boeing suppliers from greater Seattle snared a quarter of the 2016 awards the jetmaker handed to its global aerospace suppliers for delivering high quality products and services.
Boeing said strong performances and close collaboration with suppliers helped its various business units exceed customers’ expectations, while contributing to the Chicago-based company’s overall financial results. Thirteen companies from around the world, including three from the Puget Sound area, were recognized.
“In order for Boeing to be the best in aerospace and an enduring global industrial champion — a top-performer in all areas of our business — we must have the best team, and our supply chain is absolutely vital to those efforts,” Boeing Chairman and CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a news release.
