Chemico, one of the nation’s leading providers of chemical management services, distribution, and specialty product manufacturing, was named a 2025 Supplier of the Year in the category of Industrialization during GM’s 34th annual Supplier of the Year award event in Austin, Texas.
During its 37-year tenure as a GM supplier, Chemico has received 16 GM Supplier of the Year awards, including an Overdrive award for above-and-beyond performance in 2023.
“Receiving our 16th Supplier of the Year award from General Motors is a tremendous honor,” says Leon C. Richardson, founder, president, and CEO of Chemico. “This achievement reflects the strength of our lasting collaborative partnership with GM and the daily dedication to service, quality, and excellence that our team brings each day.
“It is also a testament to the mission we set out with in 1989 — to add value to our customers’ supply chain, add value to the lives of our employees, and add value to the communities in which we live and work.”
Headquartered in Southfield, Chemico has maintained a vested presence in metro Detroit for more than 30 years.
