The award based on conformance with Toyota Industrial Equipment's (TIESA France) stringent supplier certification programme, requires that a series of exacting measures are consistently met over the course of a year and follows on Watts Tyre Group being awarded Supplier of the Year to TIESA in 2009.
Carlo Piccirilli, Sales & Marketing Director for Watts commented "We are very pleased to have retained status for another year and this is a reflection of the work put in by the whole team across a range of activities. For our performance to be recognised by the world's leading Forklift truck manufacturer is always very rewarding particularly considering the challenges faced by the whole OE sector as the global economy continues its fragile recovery.
To be awarded this status in any one year is an achievement in itself but to attain it for four years in a row makes it even more significant for us. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Toyota and to helping them achieve their goals in all areas including delivery, quality, environment and cost management."
