Bridgestone named “Supplier of the Year 2025” by General Motors
Recognition of a long-standing partnership in automotive innovation
Bridgestone has been named “Supplier of the Year 2025” by General Motors (GM). This marks the eleventh consecutive time and the 24th time overall that the company has received this award from GM. The award was presented to Bridgestone during GM’s 34th annual “Supplier of the Year” event in Austin, Texas. The premium tyre manufacturer was one of 103 companies from 14 countries to receive the title “GM Supplier of the Year 2025” from a network of more than 20,000 suppliers.
“This award reflects the strong relationship between Bridgestone and GM,” says David Colletti, President of Consumer Original Equipment Tires, North America, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “Together, our commitment to innovation, quality and performance continues to drive long-term success.”
With its “Supplier of the Year” awards, GM recognises global suppliers for their performance in key categories such as safety, innovation and resilience. A global, cross-functional team makes the selection not only on the basis of company performance in 2025, but also taking into account alignment with GM’s core values and ambitious goals.
“The ‘Supplier of the Year’ award is one of those key moments our entire team looks forward to every year, as it highlights the partnerships behind every vehicle we build,” says Shilpan Amin, Senior Vice President, Global Chief Procurement and Supply Chain Officer at General Motors. “The results our suppliers deliver throughout the entire product development cycle are crucial to enabling us to offer our customers world-class vehicles. When our suppliers, such as Bridgestone, join us in focusing on new technologies and flawless execution, we can move faster, compete better in the marketplace and create more value across the entire supply chain.”
GM’s “Supplier of the Year” award aligns with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment, which consists of eight Bridgestone values, all beginning with the letter “E” (Energy, Ecology, Efficiency, Extension, Economy, Emotion, Ease and Empowerment). By developing innovative tyre solutions for GM, Bridgestone fulfils its commitments in the areas of Ecology and Extension.
