BKT’s Chopanki production plant, indeed, obtained the prestigious SQEP Silver Award for Supplier Quality Excellence Process Certification, which is bestowed to Caterpillar suppliers that are able to achieve the highest levels of quality and process control only. Not only is the Indian tyre manufacturer now part of this program for excellence, it has also obtained homologation for the original equipment supply of the two tyres Earthmax SR 47 and Earthmax SR 45 to be fitted on two different models of CAT equipment.

Commenting on this, Arvind Poddar, Chairman and Managing Director of BKT, states, “The homologation as official CAT supplier is a further acknowledgement of our products’ high specialist level and evidence of both our development and growth as far as original equipment is concerned. Pushing forward this market is one of our main strategic objectives testifying both the quality and reliability BKT has achieved for the large global manufacturers.”
