SPIROL is proud to announce that it has received the 2025 Supplier Excellence Recognition Award from Caterpillar Inc. This prestigious award recognizes suppliers who demonstrate world-class performance and a sustained commitment to quality, delivery, and operational excellence.

SPIROL’s recognition reflects outstanding performance over a 12-month period in key metrics including On-Time Delivery, Quality, Cost Management, Continuous Improvement, and adherence to Caterpillar’s Compliance and Environmental Sustainability Standards.

SPIROL’s history of excellence with Caterpillar dates back to 2011, when the company was first certified under Caterpillar’s former Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP). The 2025 Supplier Excellence Recognition Award continues this long-standing record of performance and partnership.

SPIROL supports Caterpillar through multiple global manufacturing locations, including the SPIROL Shim Division in Stow, Ohio, USA; SPIROL International Corporation in Danielson, Connecticut, USA; and SPIROL Ford in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, United Kingdom. The SPIROL Shim Division alone supplies more than 600 part numbers supporting 35 Caterpillar facilities worldwide.

The business relationship between SPIROL and Caterpillar spans nearly four decades and reflects a shared commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and customer success.
