Burscheid, Germany (ots) -

Terry C. Nadeau, group vice president of Purchasing for Johnson
Controls Automotive Experience, a global leader in automotive
interiors and electronics, has been awarded the Rising Star Award
from the trade publication Automotive News Europe. Nadeau was honored
in the Purchasing category.

Automotive News Europe awards the prize annually to pan-European
automotive industry executives who drive change and innovation, make
courageous decisions and have the potential to rise to the top of the
automotive industry in a few years.

"I am delighted with the Rising Star Award, it is an honor to be
recognized by Automotive News Europe," Nadeau said. "Although this is
an individual award, it is a reflection of the accomplishments of our
global purchasing team."

Nadeau impressed the jury by implementing a consistent supplier
management process, precisely planning cooperation with suppliers and
developing a comprehensive risk management strategy for purchasing.
In addition, Johnson Controls Purchasing and Engineering departments
developed a process that enables suppliers to easily submit product
and process innovations. These innovations have led to significant
competitive advantages which played a key role in the jury's
decision.

Selected from more than 150 nominees, 15 executives working for
automakers and automotive suppliers received Rising Star Awards this
year.

"These individuals stand out because they have achieved so much
already, and we expect them to continue to rise within their
organizations and within the industry in the years to come,"
Automotive News Europe Publisher and Editorial Director Jason Stein
said.
