Maxxis International has been chosen one of Ford Motor Co.'s top suppliers in the world for 2002.

For its efforts, Maxxis received Ford's Silver World Excellence Award. The "Gold" and "Silver" Awards are given to suppliers that excel in quality, delivery and cost performance.

Twelve suppliers received Gold Awards in 2002; 16 won Silver Awards.
