Recognised as an Excellent Supplier

We’re delighted to share that we have been recertified as a Caterpillar Supplier Excellence Recognition (SER) partner

Caterpillar is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives. Its Supplier Excellence Recognition programme honours top-tier suppliers for exceptional performance in quality, delivery, cost management and innovation.

Following a visit from representatives from Caterpillar Peterlee to our site in February, to discuss our ongoing partnership, we were provided with the certificate. It was awarded in recognition of our ongoing commitment to quality and customer service, in our supply of metal fabrications to Caterpillar facilities across the UK.

The highly productive visit focused on strengthening our partnership, which has spanned 15 years, and has been built on collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence.

We discussed future plans and our ambitions to grow our capabilities through investment in people and state-of-the-art equipment. Such as our new cutting-edge 10kW fibre laser cutting system, Trumpf TruLaser 3030, and our first welding cobot which is enhancing our automated welding capability.

David Greatorex, Managing Director at Hydram commented on the award: “I’d like to extend a huge thank you to all Hydram employees whose hard work and dedication make achievements like this possible.

“It was fantastic to once again welcome Caterpillar to our site and showcase our quality-first approach and our quality assurance procedures and facilities.

“We have a great partnership with Caterpillar. And we are proud to continue this and demonstrate our commitment to supporting their requirements and meeting their rigorous performance levels.”
