MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 08/22/13 -- Bombardier Aerospace is proud to announce the 2012 winners of its Bombardier Achieving Supplier Excellence (BASE) recognition program acknowledging suppliers that support Bombardier's strategy of delivering an amazing customer experience through superior performance. These suppliers have distinguished themselves through their high quality and delivery standards in 2012.
The recipients of the third edition of the BASE awards are the following four supplier sites:
