Norma Group’s first Global Supplier Recognition Award goes to EMS

Norma Group, a global market leader for engineered joining technology, has given given its first-ever ‘Global Supplier Recognition Award’ to selected suppliers. In 2014, the award for outstanding performance and results goes to EMS Chemie Holding AG (EMS). The Switzerland-based EMS is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance polymers and specialty chemicals.

John Stephenson, COO of the Norma Group, officially presented the Global Supplier Recognition Award to Maria Martullo, CEO of EMS, on July 2, 2014 in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany. “EMS deserves to be recognised as our most reliable supplier in 2013,” said Stephenson said. “Only partners of this class enable us to meet our exceptional quality standards and deliver on our commitment to exceeding our clients' expectations. That is why we have started to recognise our top suppliers and reward their outstanding work from this year onwards.”

Maria Martullo said, “Norma Group and EMS have been working together successfully on a global basis for many years. We will continue this partnership in the future.”

As part of the award process, the Norma Group assessed supplier reliability, product quality, competitiveness, compliance with international quality standards and the sustainable use of resources based on an extensive list of criteria. The Group has been obtaining technical thermoplastics, for instance, the polyamides PA 6 and PA 12, in granular form from EMS since the beginning of the 1990s. They are used in the production of fluid systems and joining elements at the company's locations across the world.
