POLYTEC receives Supplier Award in Silver from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)

Six years ago, Jaguar Land Rover launched the Global Purchasing Supplier Excellence Award for partners in the supply chain who impress with quality, cost awareness and delivery reliability. In addition, JLR would like to thank those suppliers who show flexibility far beyond the normal level or who are particularly quick to meet new challenges in production or design.

Neil Marsons, Jaguar Land Rover Director of Global Purchasing, commented: “Despite the well-documented global challenges impacting the entire automotive industry, our network of dedicated suppliers have provided us with unflinching support to allow us to continue producing our portfolio of luxury vehicles. It's important we recognise that, and this year's ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to do just that and we look forward to continuing those relationships with our suppliers as we look to deliver the next chapter for our business.”

"We are very pleased about this extraordinary recognition from Jaguar Land Rover! This is a tribute to the persistent commitment of our team to always focus on customer benefits and to bundle our competences for individually optimal solutions. We are proud to be able to accompany JLR on its journey to create Modern Luxury," explains Markus Huemer, CEO of the POLYTEC GROUP.

For many years, POLYTEC has supported Jaguar Land Rover in the development of complex plastic solutions and has supplied the company with structural components, underbody solutions and Class A painted exterior components in a wide range of plastic technologies.

"This award is very special for us! As a team, we have successfully overcome many challenges: from the construction and ramp-up of a new fully automated paint line in Telford, to uncertainties regarding Brexit and material shortages, as well as production interruptions due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We are now even more delighted with this vote of confidence expressed to us by JLR. The development of our strategic partnership is a great success for us and confirmation that passion for innovation and continuous commitment pay off!" says Gareth Laing, Managing Director at POLYTEC UK.


​​​​​​​POLYTEC UK is one of a total of 13 suppliers worldwide that JLR thanked for their outstanding collaboration with the coveted Supplier Excellence Award at a ceremony in Foxhill Manor, Cotswolds, UK on 17 May 2022.
