READING, Pa. — Penske Logistics reports it is the recipient of Ford Motor Company’s 2007 World Excellence Award and was among an elite group of suppliers to achieve a Gold Level award. Penske received the award for outstanding logistics services.

Ford recently recognized its 47 top global suppliers for their work on behalf of the auto maker.

First distributed in 1998, the World Excellence Awards were jointly developed by Ford and its suppliers. There are three levels of awards: Gold, Silver and Recognition of Achievement.

Gold awards are presented to Ford’s top production and non-production suppliers that consistently demonstrate superior quality, delivery and cost performance.

“We are sincerely honored to receive this award,” said Penske Logistics President Vince Hartnett. “This is a true accomplishment that we share with all of our associates serving Ford around the globe. Their efforts to drive value, quality, measurable results, and their dedication to excellence have made this award possible.”

 “It is a pleasure to recognize the technical excellence of our supplier partners,” said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally. “As we work to deliver the products and services people really want and value, we are more fully integrating our suppliers into our processes. It is by working together that we will be able to deliver profitable growth for all involved with the Ford enterprise.”
