The prestigious award places GCG among the top 1% of JCI’s supplier base in North America. This marks the second year in which GCG has won the award.
The recognition is based on GCG’s ability to meet or exceed expectations in several key areas, including delivery, cost savings, operational efficiency and sustainability.
“This award from Johnson Controls demonstrates that we're more than just a supplier – we're a committed partner that consistently drives cost efficiencies to deliver impactful solutions,” said Glenn Liacouras, SVP – Strategic Accounts, GCG. “I credit our team for their hard work and dedication in delivering exceptional value to JCI.”
As part of the evaluation process, GCG received a perfect delivery score. JCI noted that GCG’s assistance in streamlining the forecasting process and demand planning helped to ensure consistent inventory availability. GCG also received high marks for cost savings and operational efficiency. GCG was one of the selected suppliers to fully implement EDI (Electronic Data Exchange) with JCI, enabling faster, more efficient transactions. In addition, GCG held inventory in several strategic locations across the U.S. to ensure uninterrupted operations.
GCG was also recognized for its improved EcoVadis sustainability score, which is a key focus for JCI as it looks to reduce its carbon footprint. Finally, GCG was noted as a trusted partner for its ongoing collaboration and problem-solving support.
Liacouras added, “We have a proven track record of success working with large companies like JCI. Our goal is to further expand into the European Union and Asian-Pacific markets to support JCI and our other global clients.”
