VW to host Chattanooga diversity supplier trade show
Volkswagen Chattanooga will host a diversity supplier trade show that is open to the public from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Convention Center.
Called Driving Diversity, Accelerating Change, it’s an opportunity for minority businesses to network with some of Volkswagen Chattanooga’s tier one suppliers to build relationships, seek subcontracting opportunities and discuss tier one opportunities with Volkswagen purchasing representatives, according to the automaker. More than 60 suppliers plan to be in attendance for the trade show.
“Supplier diversity aligns with Volkswagen’s core values of fairness and equal opportunity by connecting with the historically underutilized supplier base,” said KeeKee Mathis, supplier diversity manager for Volkswagen Chattanooga.
