Valeo today announced that it has received two Superior Awards for Quality
from Toyota Motor Europe, the highest recognition that Toyota can offer to a
supplier. It is the first time that Toyota Motor Europe is giving two Superior
Awards for Quality to one supplier. They respectively recognize the performance
of Valeo Lighting Systems and Valeo Transmissions.

"The suppliers who receive these awards have provided exceptional
performance in Quality to our Toyota plants in Europe," said Mark Adams, Toyota
Motor Europe’s Senior General Manager Purchasing.

"It is an honor to receive these two Awards and to be recognized for our
performances in quality, delivery and warranty by Toyota, one of the most
quality-minded car manufacturers in the world," said Valeo’s Chairman and CEO
Thierry Morin who received the awards from Toyota Motor Europe’s President
Shinichi Sasaki at a ceremony in Brussels.

Mark Adams declared that he "was struck by the degree of passion and belief
with which the quality message is delivered across the Valeo organisation."

"The close cooperation between Toyota and Valeo has greatly influenced our
spirit of quality. But it is through the change of our culture by using the
SanGen Shugi attitude that we could improve step by step our performance,"
added Thierry Morin.
