Bridgestone Americas’ agriculture tire manufacturing plant in Des Moines, Iowa, recently achieved platinum level certification from Caterpillar’s Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP). The facility has received a gold level certification for the past three years.
“To achieve platinum level in the Caterpillar Supplier Quality Excellence Process certification program says a great deal about Bridgestone’s commitment to consistently achieve high standards of quality, productivity and efficiency in support of our customers,” said Greg Halford, Des Moines plant manager. “We are committed to delivering world-class Firestone Ag tires to our customers.”
Caterpillar’s certification was created to recognize a supplier’s dedication to providing superior quality and is awarded to suppliers who demonstrate world-class performance each year.
The Des Moines, Iowa, plant opened in 1945 and produces agricultural, construction, forestry and off-road tires.
