Donnelly Corp. of the United States is preparing to hold a meeting in which it will tell suppliers that they must work harder, cut prices and raise productivity. The auto parts maker, which supplies mirrors, console lights and window systems to automakers, has set up one of the first such manufacturer/supplier conferences to date and has invited 170 companies from as far as the UK for the day-long session. As reported in Glassonline World News in mid-May, Donnelly hopes to reduce its 300-supplier base to about 150 and possibly as few as 100 by the year 2000.
