Strattec’s icreased sales to Chrysler Group LLC and Ford Motor Company in the current quarter were primarily due to increased customer vehicle production volumes on models for which it supplies components. New product content also contributed to increased sales to Ford Motor Company. The reduction in sales to General Motors Company in the current quarter was primarily attributed to business the company lost to other suppliers during the latter half of the 2012 model year.
