One of the Bosch Supplier Awards in the Materials and Components category has been presented to RadiciGroup Plastics, the only Italian company to be recognized as a top supplier for 2009-2010 by Robert Bosch GmbH. The giant German multinational is a leader in the supply of technology and services to the automotive, industrial, consumer goods and construction industries (in 2010 Bosch achieved sales revenue of EUR 47.3 billion). This year the twelfth Bosch Supplier Award presentation ceremony was held on Tuesday, 19 July, in Stuttgart, where 60 suppliers from 14 countries received awards. The German group has been presenting the awards every two years since 1987 to partner companies and suppliers who have performed particularly well by offering quality products and services. “The Bosch Supplier Award goes to outstanding suppliers who play a key role in the Bosch Group’s success and work with Bosch on the ongoing further development and improvement of products and manufacturing processes,” said Franz Fehrenbach, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH.

Accepting the award for RadiciGroup Plastics were Cesare Clausi, European business manager and Udo Foltinek, sales manager - Baden-Württemberg and key account manager for Robert Bosch Group.
