Bridgestone recognised as top global supplier by General Motors

Bridgestone Corporation has been recognised by General Motors (GM) as one of its top global suppliers of 2023. The company was awarded this distinction during the GM 32nd Annual Supplier of the Year event.

Performance, innovation, cultural alignment with GM’s values, and having a commitment to achieving GM’s ambitious goals are what earned Bridgestone this honour.

Bridgestone was one of 86 companies out of GM’s network of more than 20,000 suppliers to achieve this award, marking Bridgestone’s ninth consecutive and 22nd overall recognition from GM.

“We infuse our passion for excellence into every Bridgestone and Firestone product we design and supply to General Motors,” said David Colletti, president, consumer OE tyres, North America, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “This award acknowledges the extraordinary level of collaboration with GM and our teammates around the world.”

Bridgestone supplies General Motors with both Bridgestone and Firestone brand tyres. This includes Bridgestone’s recent launch of tyre technologies for GM’s 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Police Pursuit vehicles.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV is equipped with the bespoke Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02, engineered to deliver all-season performance and comfort. The Alenza A/S 02 incorporates B-SEALS technology, which is a recyclable, silicone-based tyre sealant providing excellent sealant performance in the event of a puncture.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV Police Pursuit (pictured) is equipped with custom-engineered Firestone Firehawk Pursuit tyres. Built with high-speed pursuits in mind, the Firehawk Pursuit is constructed to deliver quick steering response and confident handling.
