The JUNKER Group is the ultimate partner worldwide in all questions of grinding and air filtration technology – and its innovative solutions are trusted by acclaimed automotive manufacturers. The grinding machine manufacturer was once again the proud recipient of the “Leading Technology Award” from SAIC General Motors Co., Ltd. (SGM). SGM presents this prestigious award to its best suppliers from around the world in a number of categories. The JUNKER Group is the only European machine builder amongst the winners to have received this award not only in 2014, but again in 2015.
Roger Kleffmann, subsidiary director in China, collected the award at the end of January 2016 in Boao, China, against the backdrop of a major event – the presentation of GM’s latest models. “This is confirmation of the expertise, know-how and efficiency of the JUNKER Group”, said Rochus Mayer, CEO, delighted at having received this award for the second time.
In order to achieve this degree of success both now and in the future, JUNKER invests both capital and capacity into the research and development of new technologies and processes. “We are number one and we aim to maintain our pole position in the field of grinding”, confirmed Rochus Mayer.
