KOSTAL Automobil Elektrik has been honored with the Volkswagen Group Award 2026. With this award, the Volkswagen Group recognizes the outstanding achievements of selected suppliers and their contribution to a strong, reliable, and future-ready supplier network. In 2026, the award was presented for the 22nd time and this year was held under the motto “WE CIRCLE.”
The focus of the award-winning contribution was the strengthening of supply chain resilience. Particular recognition was given to early risk mitigation, transparent assessments, and the structured preparation of alternative solutions. In doing so, KOSTAL makes an important contribution to robust and crisis-resistant supply structures in a demanding and constantly evolving market environment.
For the company, the honor represents special recognition of its partnership-based collaboration with the Volkswagen Group and, at the same time, serves as a strong testament to the performance, reliability, and expertise of the international KOSTAL organization.
“We are delighted to receive the Volkswagen Group Award. It confirms our ambition to remain a reliable, solution-oriented, and forward-looking partner for our customers, even in challenging times. Our thanks go to all colleagues whose commitment, expertise, and team spirit have contributed to this success. We aim to continue developing our trust-based collaboration with Volkswagen in the future and to jointly provide impetus for innovative, future-ready mobility solutions,” said Andreas Kostal, Chairman of the Board of the KOSTAL Group.
