This way the ranking can point out the list of the thirty companies that received the highest number of awards from the automakers in this period, including the relevance of each prize distributed to the suppliers, on a scale of points similar to the same used in Formula 1 (see the complete point table on page 39). For Mauro Correia, president of Caoa Manufacturer, the AutoData Quality and Partnership Ranking represents “an im- portant reference of the results of each company because it works as a direct reference within a single universe, which all suppliers are inserted in. Developing this list is a significant initiative because it makes the good work done by the best ones public from an objective analysis”. Overall, data were tabulated from no- thing less than 239 companies that recei- ved any kind of acknowledgments from automakers installed in Brazil in the last three years. The top tenwere MaxionWheels, NGK, Continental Group, ZF, G-KT, Casco, Pana- sonic, Aisin, 3M and NSK. Representatives of this suppliers received commemorative plaques at a ceremony held during the AutoData Seminar Revision of Perspecti- ves, in the WTC São Paulo auditorium at the end of June (see page 24). In addition to that, the top four; Maxion Wheels, NGK, Continental Group and ZF, are automatically qualified for the Auto- Data Awards for the Best Companies of the Automotive Industry in the category of Quality and Partnership.
