Airbus selected its best suppliers at the SQIP Suppliers' Day and, after 2023, Mankiewicz again received the highest award in 2024. SQIP stands for "Supply Chain & Quality Improvement Program". The award is presented annually to companies that have demonstrated exceptional performance in the areas of product quality and delivery reliability.
Mankiewicz was also honored with a special award for "Operational Excellence". Mankiewicz is the only supplier to receive this special award. "Operational Excellence" describes a company's ability to continuously optimize its processes and systems across the entire value chain by following a clear strategy, implementing best practice processes and achieving the highest process performance in a well-structured organization.
Recognition for structure and process performance
René Lang, Executive Managing Director Aviation, comments: "We are delighted for our entire team that we have once again received the highest accredited supplier award as well as the additional award for our processes. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to customer service and quality and we very much look forward to continuing our partnership with Airbus."
Mankiewicz develops and produces innovative paint solutions for aircraft interiors, exteriors and structural parts and supplies well-known MROs, airlines and OEMs worldwide. This has included Airbus since the 1970s.
