Poclain Receives Caterpillar Excellence Award for the 9th Consecutive Year
We are thrilled to announce that our plant in India has once again been honored with the Caterpillar Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP) award for the year 2024. This marks the 9th consecutive year that we have received this prestigious recognition, underscoring our unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
