Michelin wins Boeing Supplier of the Year award

Michelin has won the Boeing Supplier of the Year award in the Electronics/Hydraulics/Mechanical category at a recent ceremony in Chantilly, Virginia.

Michelin’s partnership with Boeing applies to a large portion of the Boeing product range and since 1995, Boeing has adopted and extended the radial technology originally developed by Michelin for the 777 to all its long-range fleet. The future 787-9 will also be fitted with Michelin NZG new-generation radial tyres.

Accepting the Supplier of the Year award on Michelin’s behalf, Frank Moreau, director of Michelin Group’s Aircraft Tyre Division said: “As the awards are based on quality, on-time delivery, post-delivery support and affordability goals, and demonstrating the ability to anticipate and respond to changing requirements, we are proud to receive this award.”

Michelin also received a Boeing Performance Excellence Award.
