This annual Awards ceremony presented the opportunity for CNH Industrial to evaluate its major suppliers through key performance criteria such as relationship, quality, supply chain, reliability. This program promotes continuous and mutual improvement to reinforce sustainable partnership.

This Award given to Michelin particularly highlights the results of the “active demand management”, a process launched by Michelin Agricultural division to increase its capacity to integrate the Customer needs at the heart of the supply chain process. It also rewards Michelin support to grow on new markets like China or Brazil, and its best-of class agricultural products like MICHELIN Ultraflex tires. At last, this recognition is the result of a strong and long term relationship between the two companies to meet the agricultural challenges alongside farmers. It’s the first time this award is given to a tire manufacturer.

A concrete illustration is the partnership Michelin and CNH Industrial for EXPO Milano 2015: MICHELIN tires with Ultraflex technologies were chosen by New Holland Agriculture (a brand of CNH Industrial) to fit its agricultural machines exhibited at its pavilion during EXPO as well as at the Energy Independent farm “La Bellota” (Italy).
