BINGHAM FARMS, Mich.--On March 30, 2007, Bartech Group was one of 89 companies honored by General Motors Corp., the number 1 automaker in North America, with its highly celebrated Supplier of the Year Award at the recently held 15th annual awards ceremony in Orlando, Florida.

"Each year we are pleased to share our appreciation with those suppliers who have achieved superior results and have helped GM manufacture world-class vehicles," said Bo Andersson, GM Group Vice President, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.
