Nucor Steel Memphis, Inc. division was certified by Caterpillar Inc. at the platinum level through its Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP). Nucor Steel Memphis is the only steel mill in the world to earn Platinum certification, which represents excellence in process control, continuous improvement, product quality and delivery to Caterpillar.
Caterpillar created the SQEP to recognize those suppliers that demonstrate their commitment to excellence and drive a “zero defects” culture within their organizations. Certification levels include Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, reflected in order of increasing difficulty.
This is the first invitation and certification from Caterpillar for the Nucor Steel Memphis team. Nucor Steel Memphis has supplied Caterpillar with engineered long bar in carbon and alloy grades since 2010 for use in track links, sprocket segments, idlers, ground engaging tools, hammer bits, transmission parts, gears and pins.
