Ethiopian Airlines is pleased to announce that it has received the 2013
"GOLD Level Boeing Performance Excellence Award" for its outstanding performance at the Wire Kits Harness
Manufacturing Plant. This is the second Gold award the plant has received from Boeing. The
Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior
performance.
Ethiopian established the aircraft wire production plant in July 2009. The plant manufactures
certified seat to seat aircraft interior wires of different types and supplies them to Boeing,
which uses the wires for 737, 747, 767 and 777 jet aircraft. Yet, the majority of the wires, close
to 85%, are produced for the ultra-long range 777-200 LRs.
"Obtaining Gold level Boeing performance excellence award is a testimony of Ethiopian high
standard and capabilities in the skill driven aviation industry. The pursuit of excellence is not just
a hallmark of our wire kits harness manufacturing plant. It is also the defining characteristic of
Ethiopian and the bedrock of its continued success in all areas of its global operations," said CEO
Tewolde Gebremariam.
Ethiopian Airlines Wire Kit Harness Manufacturing Plant is one of only 124 suppliers to be
awarded the Gold level recognition among thousands of Boeing suppliers.
