Schaeffler UK scoops national sustainability prize 17 December 2010

Schaeffler's UK automotive component manufacturing plant in South Wales has won a Wales quality award for sustainability.

Donna Williams-Bevan, training officer at Schaeffler UK, accepted the prize on behalf of the company's plant in Llanelli, South Wales, at the annual awards ceremony held at the City Hall, Cardiff earlier this month (December 2010).

The Wales Quality Award is an annual competition based on the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) excellence model.

In a speech at the awards ceremony, David Phillips, CEO at the Wales Quality Centre, which runs the Wales Quality Awards, commented: "As winner of this year's sustainability prize, Schaeffler UK has demonstrated the most significant impact in this area over a period of time."

Roger Evans MBE, plant and automotive sales director at Schaeffler UK commented: "We are very pleased to win a Wales quality award again… The award for sustainability recognises the strategy, plans and processes that are being prepared to ensure the success of Schaeffler UK in the future, which has resulted in the Llanelli plant securing a considerable amount of investment in new technology."
