Bridgestone Americas’ OTR tire plant in Bloomington, Ill., recently achieved platinum level certification from Caterpillar’s Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP). The facility has received a gold level certification for the past two years.
“We are committed to delivering world-class products to our customers,” said Eugene Johnston, executive director of OEM global support at Bridgestone. “This recognition is a reflection of our commitment and a testament to our dedicated employees in our Bloomington plant and Americas Technical Center, and in customer support, and logistics and supply chain management, all of whom deliver quality and innovation through their work in product, engineering and manufacturing performance, to customers like Caterpillar.”
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.
