Remy Automotive Brazil supplies MAN Latin America with a number of
starters, alternators and magnetic switches that are used in VW branded
trucks, buses, and special vehicles produced in Brazil.
"We are honored to receive this award. Remy has always been driven by a
passion for excellence. Receiving the MAN Latin America Supply Award is an
example of that passionate drive and the result of delivering world-class
design, manufacturing and service to our customers," said Bernardo Milioni
Garcia, OE Sales and Applications Senior Manager for Brazil and South
America.
This award distinguishes Remy for its commercial contribution throughout
2009 which helped to create ideal conditions for a strong 2010. Worldwide
sales of heavy duty commercial vehicles manufactured at MAN's factory in
Resende - Rio de Janeiro will reach approximately 67,000 units, increased by
more than 50% over the previous year.
MAN Latin America is a part of the MAN Group, one of Europe's leading
manufacturers of commercial vehicles and diesel engines. MAN Latin America
leads the truck market in Brazil with a market share of more than 30 percent.
In 2008 MAN purchased Brazil's largest truck maker, Volkswagen Truck and Bus
from Volkswagen.
Remy has had a strong relationship with MAN Latin America and has enjoyed
the shared growth over the years as MAN's market share continues to increase
as the leader in truck sales in South America.
As of 2010, Remy sales in the Heavy Duty market in South America have
expanded at a compound annual growth rate of more than 40 percent over the
past three years by taking advantage of strong growth in Brazil and important
partnerships established with key customers in this region.
This is the 3rd time Remy has received an award at the MAN Latin America
awards ceremonies. In 2005 and 2006 Remy won the Supply Award in the category
"Competence on Product Development."
