Toray Composite Materials America, Inc. has received the Boeing Supplier of the Year Alliance Award, a leadership-nominated award given to supplier companies that support and propel Boeing's strategic objectives through risk-sharing and enduring partnerships. Receiving the Supplier of the Year Alliance Award represents Toray's commitment to performance excellence in quality, cost, and delivery. This is Toray's second award from Boeing, receiving the Supplier of the Year Excellence Award in 2019.

Toray CMA was honored alongside other Supplier of the Year winners on August 23, 2023, in Championsgate, Florida. "It is an honor for Toray to receive the Supplier of the Year award again. Receiving it is a testament to our disciplined engineering approach and passion for excellence. It drives us to relentlessly pursue ways to improve so we can meet the needs of our customers," says to Andy Sakata, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing. "We're thankful to Boeing for recognizing the efforts of various teams that have worked with them over the past decades."

Toray began supplying Boeing when it first qualified TORAYCA T300 carbon fibre for commercial application on the Boeing 737. Since then, Toray CMA has provided high-performance intermediate modulus carbon fibre and highly toughened, primary structure carbon fibre composite prepreg on various programs.

"The Supplier of the Year winners were proactive, transparent and reliable in a challenging environment," adds William Ampofo, vice president of Parts and Distribution Services and Supply Chain for Boeing Global Services and chair of Boeing's Supply Chain Operations Council. "Over the past year, their collaboration and commitment to safety and quality was the gold standard to help us drive stability in our supply chain and consistently deliver for our customers."

Janicki has also been recognized as a Supplier of the Year by The Boeing Company. A leading supplier of composite and metallic tooling, equipment and parts, Janicki has supported various Boeing programs for over 24 years.
