Bosch Receives AutoZone’s ‘Vendor Partner of the Year’ Award

Bosch has received the “2021 Vendor Partner of the Year” award from AutoZone— an honor presented to the vendor that best exemplifies exceptional performance and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction through innovation, differentiation and collaboration, the company announced.

The award honored the braking division within the Bosch Automotive Aftermarket business unit.

Bosch was recognized at the AutoZone Vendor Partner Summit in June for its innovation, ability to execute and overall commitment to delivering the “best merchandise at the right price” to AutoZone’s customers and business, the company said, and was acknowledged as “a tremendous vendor partner in all aspects of the business from merchandising and supply chain processes to engineering and sales.”

“Bosch has been an outstanding contributor to AutoZone’s success as we’ve navigated a challenging year filled with increased demand and rapid growth,” said Seong Ohm, AutoZone’s senior vice president, Merchandising, Customer Satisfaction. “As a supplier, Bosch has served as a critical partner in helping us meet the needs of our customers.”

“The delivery of high-quality, reliable products and exemplary customer service have long served as foundational cornerstones for Bosch. We are honored to receive this prestigious award demonstrating our commitment to these values,” said Todd Hertzler, Bosch’s vice president of sales, North America. “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with AutoZone and look forward to continuing mutual success in the future.”
