Continental Wins 3rd Consecutive Vendor of Year Award

For the third year in a row Continental Tire the Americas LLC has won the Vendor of the Year award from Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas (MLA).

The award recognizes the “commitment and operational support demonstrated by Continental through MLA’s original equipment aftermarket program, Rapidparts, in the material handling sector,” according to Continental officials.

By winning the award Continental Specialty Tires has strengthened its position as a customer-focused industry partner in the United States and Mexico. Part of the Rapidparts program continues its tire portfolio with MH20, PT18, SC18 and General Tire.

Continental is one of few suppliers to have won the award three times and the only tire manufacturer to have received the honor this year.

“We are pleased to announce that Continental Tires has been awarded the Vendor of the Year for its outstanding performance and commitment to excellence,” says John Lamancusa, preferred partner programs manager at MLA.

“Winning this award for the third consecutive time signifies the progress we are making – in America as well as in our other markets around the world,” says Klaus Frameau, head of the material handling business field for Continental.
