The executive, although he does not reveal specific indexes, says that there is room for nationalization increase, espe- cially on motorcycles with more powerful engines- and this will be sought, particu- larly, in the companies that already supply Moto Honda today. THE FIRSTS OF THE FIRST ONE On theother hand, CNH Industrial unified, for the first time, the suppliers’ recognition of all its brands - Iveco, Case, NewHolland, FPTandMagirus. The celebrationwas held in Belo Horizonte, MG, and 16 companies were awarded, with a special highlight for Tenneco, named Supplier of the Year. All companies with annual sales over R$ 1 million to the manufacturer were eli- gible - considering the total supply to the ten CNHi factories in Latin America. This way, the list of competitors had 249 parti- cipants, which represents about 18% of the total suppliers in the region and obtained, together, R$ 3.7 billion of invoiced revenue only with the businesses for CNHi. These companies were evaluated in 11 categories, in which the top three were ranked and the best of themwas conside- red the winner. For Vilmar Fistarol, presi- dent of CNH Industrial for Latin America, “it is fundamental to recognize the suppliers who walk by our side and support us in fulfilling strategies and demands”. In the special Sustainability category, unlike the others, the registration was vo- luntary: each supplier presented a project that they considered valuable in this area. 38 projectswere evaluated and those con- sidered the top three in each subcategory were selected, Environment and Social Responsibility.
