Maintal, Germany, September 28, 2017 – NORMA Group, a global market leader in engineered joining technology, has awarded the Global Supplier Recognition Award for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) to the Precision Sealing Systems Division of Hutchinson GmbH (“Hutchinson”). The business unit of the French manufacturer of elastomer products was convincing in 2016 with its outstanding achievements in the areas of quality, logistics and service.

At the award ceremony held on September 28, 2017, in Maintal, Wolfgang Geiger, NORMA Group’s Vice President of Global Purchasing, said: “A long-term partnership connects us with Hutchinson as a supplier that distinguishes itself with consistently high delivery service, efficient production processes and deep technical understanding.” Volker Kulms, Head of Precision Sealing Systems at Hutchinson, said: “I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of the whole Hutchinson team. The award spurs us to become even better. I am sure that our partnership will continue to remain this close and full of trust.”
