Volkswagen Awards Grammer Automotive Best Supplier Award

Grammer vice president, sales and marketing in the Americas, Juergen Huertgen, reported that out of 350 VW suppliers, Grammer was one of four to recieve the Best Supplier Award from Volkswagen’s Truck and Bus Division. Grammer is a leading supplier of specialty automotive seating systems.

Grammer’s Atibaia, Brazil operations make 100 percent of all Volkswagen truck and bus seats. “Grammer’s product teams in Brazil and Germany share this honor,” said Huertgen. “Together, they worked hard to support Volkswagen’s manufacturing operations.”

The Atibaia manufacturing facility also produces fully trimmed head restraints for the Golf A4, Polo and the Audi A3, all built by Volkswagen in Curitiba and Sao Paolo, Brazil. The 215,000-square-foot Grammer facility in Atibaia has supplied Volkswagen in Brazil since 1989.

Huertgen added that the plant is ISO/TS 16949 certified and the 450 employees work under strict and lean principles. The Cut and sew, stamping and assembly, welding, painting, banding and foaming operations are all supported by a small prototype shop.
