For the second-consecutive year, the Automotive Parts Services Group (The Group) honored Delphi Technologies as the Co-Man Vendor of the Year.

In addition, The Group selected Grote as its Order Fill-Co-Man Vendor of the Year.

The Group presented the awards during its conference and expo in National Harbor, Maryland.

“Recognizing the vital role played by our vendor partners in ensuring the success of our Co-Man operation, it is important for us to express our thanks for all they do and recognize those who excel,” said Larry Pavey, CEO of The Group. “The Group membership recognized Delphi once again as the Co-Man Vendor of the Year in acknowledgement of their exceptional service and support throughout 2022. In addition, Grote was chosen by the members for their excellent order fill performance. We extend our congratulations to all members of the Delphi and Grote teams and express our gratitude for their efforts on behalf of our Co-Man operation.”

Presented annually by The Group, the Co-Man vendor awards honor supplier partners that have shown outstanding dedication and support of the Co-Man operation and programs. The Co-Man enterprise began with members deciding to open a jointly owned warehouse, and the operation has seen significant growth each year since its inception, expanding numerous times to meet the rapidly growing demands of members.

“The Co-Man operation is one of the factors that sets The Group apart from others in the industry,” Pavey said. “The Co-Man program is beneficial for both the members and suppliers, and we want to thank all those who work together to make the Co-Man program such a huge success.”
