VCST Belgium earns Ford Q1 Award at new Brustem facility

We are proud to announce that the VCST Belgium plant has once again earned the Ford Q1 Award, a prestigious recognition granted by Ford Motor Company to suppliers that demonstrate exceptional performance in quality, logistics, delivery, and customer satisfaction.

A milestone for VCST Belgium

This achievement is particularly meaningful as it marks the first time VCST receives the award at its new production facility in Brustem. Moving operations to a new location is a complex process that impacts nearly every aspect of the supply chain: from infrastructure and equipment validation to team alignment, quality controls, and logistics. Receiving the Q1 Award so soon after the transition confirms that VCST has succeeded in seamlessly transferring its high standards of performance and reliability to the new site.

Strengthening our long-term partnership

The Ford Q1 Award is considered a benchmark in the automotive industry, reserved for suppliers who demonstrate consistent excellence in all aspects of performance. It goes beyond standard ISO/TS certification and is only granted after a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation process.

Earning this distinction reaffirms our technical and operational capabilities, and reflects the strong, long-standing partnership between VCST and Ford. Over the years, we have built a close and collaborative relationship grounded in mutual trust, continuous improvement, and shared commitment to quality. Achieving Q1 status once again is a proud testament to that ongoing collaboration and our readiness to support Ford’s future programs.

To celebrate this recognition, a delegation from Ford visited the Brustem site to officially present the Q1 Award to the VCST Belgium team.
