FCA's 21st Annual

MATCHMAKER

Since its inception in 1999 MatchMaker has generated more than $3.5 billion in new business opportunities for its exhibitors. As a company, our mission is to work with the highest quality and best performing automotive supply base to create a diverse working environment that inspires innovation and creativity. We strongly
believe that our supply base should mirror our customer base in order to meet the needs of an increasingly multicultural population. Our focus and commitment to Supplier Diversity remains strong as we want the diversity of our employees, supply base and dealer network to reflect the diversity of our customers. This is an important part of our corporate culture and we have been actively involved in promoting Supplier Diversity for more than 37 years.
