On January 10, the Changan Ford 2025 Partner Conference was grandly held in Chongqing. As a key partner, Dana was invited to participate in this grand event. At the conference, two Dana plants were honored with two prestigious awards presented by Changan Ford.

The Dana Chongqing Plant was awarded the "Excellent Logistics Delivery Award" for its outstanding performance in the field of logistics delivery. This honor is not only a high recognition of the Dana Chongqing Plant's significant improvements in supply chain management and logistics efficiency over the past year, but also a full affirmation of its teamwork capabilities and professional spirit. From MMOG process optimization to efficiency improvement, from ensuring stable supply chain delivery to the standardized operation of the SAP MRP system, every step embodies the dedication and hard work of Dana people. Behind this honor lies the wise guidance of the management team and the joint efforts of all employees, demonstrating Dana's firm commitment to ensuring customer delivery and enhancing service quality.

Q1 (Quality is No. 1) is a basic quality and manufacturing rule unique to Ford Motor Company. Q1 certification represents Ford's high recognition of suppliers in the field of quality. The certification consists of five aspects: a qualified system, sustained performance, on-site action plans, satisfied customers, and continuous improvement. It mainly ensures high quality by grading manufacturing sites and using continuous, understandable matrix tools to motivate suppliers to continuously improve and advance, building a globally recognized quality brand. It is the "benchmark" for product quality evaluation and certification of suppliers in the automotive industry. The Q1 certification system has always been known for its strictness, and obtaining Q1 certification represents the outstanding performance of Dana Yancheng in key areas such as product quality, technological innovation, and service capability.

The Dana Yancheng Plant has successfully obtained Q1 certification, which will enable it to establish closer cooperative relations with Ford Motor Company worldwide and further enhance its market competitiveness and brand influence; at the same time, with the help of the Q1 system, corporate management will be elevated to a new height, playing a continuous driving role in on-site management and product quality assurance; all employees of the company will pursue continuous improvement and perpetual refinement, focusing on the global high-end user market, honoring the original aspiration with craftsmanship, and jointly building a strong quality defense.

The Dana team participated in this conference and received the awards presented by Changan Ford on site. They expressed sincere gratitude for Changan Ford's trust and support, and emphasized that Dana will continue to adhere to the principles of quality first and customer supremacy, providing Changan Ford with higher-quality products and services.

Dana has been deeply engaged in the field of automotive parts manufacturing for many years, always adhering to technological innovation and quality improvement. The two awards from Changan Ford are both a recognition of Dana's past efforts and an incentive for the future. In the future, Dana will further strengthen cooperation with Changan Ford, continuously enhance its own strength, jointly promote the development of the global automotive industry, and create greater value for customers.
