Cummins and Navistar both Corporate members of the NMSDC joined together in hosting a customer collaboration booth at the Chicago Business Opportunity Fair in Chicago, IL on April 23, 2015. Nicole Wiggins, Supplier Diversity Director for Navistar arranged for Cummins to participate in the day’s events. “This collaboration was an opportunity for MBE suppliers to witness how larger customers and suppliers work together in locating qualified suppliers to service purchasing needs, says Wiggins.” The Chicago BOF was also an opportunity to see the Cummins engine inside the showcased Navistar truck. “You really feel a sense of pride when you see these beautiful trucks with a Cummins engine inside, says Michelle Taylor (Cummins).” Navistar and Cummins are active members of the Automotive Industry Group within the NMSDC and this is another example of how the AIG membership work together in connecting with MBE suppliers.
