"A" rated supplier

Bridgestone tyre manufacturer confirms SIBUR as reliable supplier.

The Japanese Bridgestone, one of the world's top car tyre manufacturers, has audited SIBUR’s Togliatti site (SIBUR Togliatti) and confirmed its status of a top tier supplier.

The audit was performed at the Bridgestone facilities in Spain and assessed SIBUR Togliatti’s performance in 2H 2017 against nine criteria, including product quality, labelling, packaging, transportation, accuracy of rubber deliveries, process stability and customer relations.

Bridgestone utilises the Togliatti-produced SKI-3 isoprene rubber in its manufacturing. In 2017, the grade received the 100 Best Goods of Russia award.

“The high audit rating comes as a result of the team’s restless work to improve product quality and meet customer needs,” says Ekaterina Tutukova, Head of the Integrated Management System at SIBUR Togliatti.

Last year, the Togliatti site successfully passed the Italian Pirelli’s audit for compliance with the German VDA 6.3 standard, which was developed by Germany’s Union of Automakers and must be met by all suppliers that work with German automakers.
