GRAND HAVEN, Mich., April 29, 2008 – For the sixth time in seven years, Shape received GM’s Supplier of the Year Award. This year, it was presented in Jacksonville, Fla.
The award goes to suppliers who exceed standards in quality, service and price.

Weykamp went on to say, “We’ve developed an understanding of GMs expectations and continue to meet them.”
