In a remarkable achievement for the construction industry, Walbridge has been named a 2024 Supplier of the Year by all three of its foundational automotive customers – Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Stellantis. This makes Walbridge the only construction company to receive this honor from all three automakers this year.
Walbridge Sets a New Standard: Triple Supplier of the Year Recognition from Ford, GM and Stellantis
What Makes This Achievement Special?
Each award highlights a different aspect of the company’s commitment to operational excellence, safety, innovation, and community impact:
• Ford: Honored Walbridge in May for outstanding performance in Industrial Equipment, Construction, and Community Impact.
• General Motors: Presented Walbridge both the Supplier of the Year and the prestigious Overdrive Award in April – an honor reserved for suppliers who consistently exceed expectations and demonstrate ingenuity and resilience.
• Stellantis: Recognized Walbridge in October with the Best Supplier Award in North America for operational excellence and exceptional performance.
Walbridge CEO, Mike Haller, commented:
“We are truly honored to earn this level of recognition from three of our foundational automotive customers. These awards highlight the power of team collaboration and the trusting partnership we’ve built with Ford, GM, and Stellantis.”
This year marks the seventh consecutive year Walbridge has earned a Supplier of the Year award from GM, and the first time it has received the Best Supplier Award in North America from Stellantis. Walbridge was also one of only 26 suppliers recognized by Ford this year as a Supplier of the Year, which Ford last presented in 2019.

“Earning Supplier of the Year honors from Ford, GM, and Stellantis in the same year is a testament to the dedication of our people and the trust of our partners. This triple recognition reinforces our commitment to building environments that advance industries and strengthen communities across North America,” added Haller.
