At this year’s AGCO supplier day in March, the German based company Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) was awarded the „Supplier of the Year“ prize in the category of Quality. AGCO is a global leader in the design and supply of agricultural machinery, and home to world famous brands, including Fendt, Massey Ferguson, and Valtra. In his award speech Florian Kempf, Head of Supplier Management at AGCO, recognized above all the extraordinary service and professionalism of STW.

STW has been a partner of AGCO/Fendt since 1989 and delivers complex electronic products. In 2016 numerous variants from 14 product groups were delivered to AGCO companies and STW could repeatedly achieve outstanding ppm values, with the lowest failure rates. Mr. Kempf praised the very fast reaction times and the proactive mind-set that characterize STW. STW successfully supports AGCO with a „zero failure shipments” strategy for all products, to all manufacturing sites worldwide, every day.

With a customer focus from design through PPAP to series production, STW is capable of solving unique and unexpected problems. In addition, STW continuously puts higher demands on the quality of their products than the industry standards. “Amongst many other things this differentiates STW from other companies. STW is not only a supplier but a long-term partner to AGCO”, concludes Mr. Kempf.

In 2012, STW was awarded AGCO supplier of year in the category Innovation.
