Federal-Mogul's Diadema, Brazil, manufacturing facility received the award honoring its 100 percent on-time delivery record and zero customer quality complaints for 2002.

Alexandre Nagle, general manager, Diadema, accepted the award from Mr. Tetsuo Uchiyama, president, Yamaha, South America, during the Yamaha Suppliers Conference.

"This is a great achievement accomplished by the entire Diadema team," Nagle said. "Even greater than the recognition is knowing that three years ago, we didn't supply any product to Yamaha and today, Yamaha is one of our major customers."

The facility also manufactures lighting, ignition coils and systems protection products for motorcycle and automotive industries for original equipment applications and the aftermarket.
