BKT achieves Caterpillar SQEP Platinum status

BKT has been approved for Caterpillar SQEP (Supplier Quality Excellence Process) recertification and elevated from Gold to Platinum level, for the year 2021.

This recognition is dedicated to suppliers who distinguish themselves over the year by achieving the highest levels of quality and control over processes.

Caterpillar said the off-highway tyre specialists stood out for its “unwavering and total commitment” in terms of leadership, quality, service and customer support.

A spokesperson for BKT said the SQEP Platinum certification is a major success for the Indian multinational’s efforts in logistics and its range of innovative, high-quality products.

“[The SQEP Platinum certification] is further confirmation of the successful collaboration between Caterpillar and BKT, which lays the basis for even stronger synergies and partnerships in the future,” they said.

“We are proud of this result,” stated Arvind Poddar, chairman and MD of BKT. “We have not only confirmed the high quality of our processes, we have gone beyond that and reached the highest level possible.

“This prestigious recognition from Caterpillar is concrete proof of that, but we won’t stop here. We will try to continuously improve our standards and our performance for our suppliers. BKT’s journey is one marked by continuous evolution and development.”
