2025 CertifiCATion for Supplier Excellence
Last month, Van der Vlist traveled to Texas, USA, to attend the Caterpillar Inc. Supplier Excellence Recognition event. We are very proud to announce we have won the Caterpillar Supplier Excellence Award 2025.
This year’s recognition carries special significance as Caterpillar celebrates 100 years as a company and a century of innovation, resilience and global impact. We as Van der Vlist are honored to be part of this historic milestone, which underscores the power of long-term supplier relationships that help Caterpillar deliver on its purpose: to help customers build a better, more sustainable world.
During the award ceremony, Pam Heminger, Senior Vice President for the Strategic Procurement & Planning Division, said, “Caterpillar’s ability to manufacture and deliver world-class products is built on the strength, efficiency, and resilience of our global supply network. As we celebrate 100 years of progress, we recognize that our suppliers have been instrumental in helping us meet customer needs. This milestone is not just Caterpillar’s. It belongs to every supplier who has helped us thrive.”
At Van der Vlist, we strive for perfection. Because a happy customer who is satisfied with the optimal solution is what drives us. Caterpillar depends on suppliers like us to provide high-quality, defect-free products that meet or exceed the company’s standards.
This award demonstrates our collective commitment to helping customers create a better, more sustainable world through high-quality services. It is a great honour and a compliment to all our colleagues.
