Liebherr-Aerospace has been recognised as Supplier of the Year in the “Excellence” category by The Boeing Company. Liebherr was one of 13 companies honoured May 8 for distinguished performance in working with Boeing.

This year’s recipients represent an elite group among more than 12,000 active Boeing suppliers around the world. This selection was based on stringent performance criteria for quality performance, delivery performance, cost, environmental initiatives, customer service and technical expertise.
