Now in its 11th year, the Rexam Supplier Awards last week saw over 45 suppliers from across Europe, Asia and the Middle East come together to celebrate the achievements of those in their industry. At the event, held at The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire, UK, Rexam, a leading global beverage can manufacturer, recognised companies that consistently ensure reliability, quality and cost effectiveness through the whole supply chain.
 
Suppliers were recognised in three categories, Supply, Quality and Cost. The prestigious accolade of 'Supplier of the Year' was also awarded, alongside two winners for 'The Rexam Way Award' which is given to suppliers who consistently demonstrate Rexam's core values of Trust, Teamwork, Continuous Improvement and Recognition.
 
Alex Jennings, Chief Procurement Officer for Rexam, said: "At Rexam, we’re proud of the strong relationships we have built with our suppliers. Effective collaboration is essential to provide our own customers with cost-effective, sustainable and innovative packaging solutions for their beverage brands. We feel it's important to recognise the suppliers who go the extra mile and year-after-year deliver consistent performance in all areas of our Supplier Excellence Programme."
