Performance chemicals for leather, automotive industry award

BASF Performance Chemicals has received a 2005 Supplier Performance Award from Eagle Ottawa a leading supplier of premium leather for the automotive industry.

According to Mickie Miller, Director of Procurement for Eagle Ottawa, Auburn Hills, Mich., the Supplier Performance Award is based on exceeding performance expectations in the areas of quality, cost reductions, value analysis and value engineering, delivery, service and support, and innovation.

“Each supplier’s performance against these metrics is reported and tracked through our supplier ratings,” Miller said. “This is the first time Eagle Ottawa has awarded suppliers with this type of recognition, and only three other chemical suppliers received this award.”

We appreciate the efforts that were made by BASF in 2005 to make them eligible for this award,” Miller said.
