The car business is truly a diverse marketplace with technology, materials, products and labor contributions from many sources. Talent from minority contributors, women, veterans, and others comes together to help build cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers that we love here at Brunswick Auto Mart - vehicles like the elegant 2013 Chrysler 200. Cleveland drivers can reap the benefits of a diverse talent pool contributing towards the development and manufacturing of excellent vehicles every time they get behind the wheel.
These talents and contributions are important to Chrysler. Recently Chrysler was named one of the Top 50 Companies Creating Opportunities for Multicultural Businesses." Chosen by more than 1.3 million diversity and minority businesses, the honor exemplifies the efforts of Chrysler Group to draw from the vast resources of a diverse marketplace of talent. Chrysler Group has purchased from suppliers owned by minority contributors for more than thirty years, totaling more than $47 billion.
"We remain as committed as ever to creating opportunities for minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses because we believe that a diverse supply chain leads to better, more innovative products for our customers," remarked Scott Kunselman, Chrysler Group Senior VP of Purchasing and Supplier Quality.
The commitment to quality from all suppliers and resources is evident in products like the 2013 Chrysler 200. Akron drivers who appreciate the commitment Chrysler Group makes to diversity will be interested to learn that in 2011 Chrysler Group spent $2.1 billion sourcing materials and components from 200 minority suppliers, 8.5 percent of total purchasing.
Chrysler Group has also launched programs to encourage purchasing with minority-owned companies. The Matchmaker program is an event that gives women-, veteran-, and minority-owned businesses access to movers and shakers in the procurement network. Last year's event attracted more than 2,400 attendees, of which approximately 270 were diversity suppliers.
Diversity makes better vehicles and you can see the results here at Brunswick Auto Mart, so be sure to visit us today to enjoy the great contribution diversity brings.
