United Road has been named a General Motors Supplier of the Year for 2025. It is the company’s third time earning the recognition.
GM’s Supplier of the Year awards go to companies that deliver strong performance, partnership and innovation across the automaker’s global operations. Awardees are chosen by a global GM team that weighs safety, innovation, execution, resilience and customer support, along with how well a supplier reflects GM’s core values and priorities.
“Winning Supplier of the Year a third time tells me our people delivered for GM every single day,” said Ryan Kraft, chief executive officer of United Road. “This recognition belongs to our drivers, and every team member who treats each vehicle like it matters. GM trusted us with their vehicles, and our team earned that trust mile after mile. We’re proud of this, and we’re already focused on what comes next.”
“Supplier of the Year is one of those key moments our whole team looks forward to every year because it highlights the partnerships behind every vehicle we build,” Shilpan Amin, senior vice president, global chief procurement and supply chain officer, General Motors. “The results our suppliers deliver throughout the entire product development cycle are central to our ability to deliver world-class vehicles to our customers. When our suppliers, such as United Road, lean in with us on new technology and flawless execution, we can move faster, compete harder and unlock more value across the entire supply chain.”

These suppliers deliver outstanding performance, partnership and innovation in support of GM’s global operations.
