KOA Speer receives 2021 Supplier Excellence Awards from TTI

The TTI Americas Supplier Excellence Award Programme represents the highest recognition possible of a supplier's performance within TTI. The SEA programme is centered on quality measurements that include: on-time delivery, receiving quality, customer-reported quality, administrative quality, operations, and business systems. KOA Speer has been a Supplier Excellence Award recipient in 26 of 27 years that TTI has presented the awards.

Melanie Pizzey, TTI Vice President Global Business Operations, stated: "Achievement of the Supplier Excellence Award not only represents the dedication of all KOA employees to TTI, but also management’s commitment and overall operating philosophy for excellence by allocating resources and allowing employees the opportunity to do the right thing in order to ensure customer satisfaction."

The Best Quality awards are awarded to the supplier who scores the highest in each of the possible Quality categories. The Platinum Level Excellence Award is an honor that can only be achieved after superior performance for a minimum of five consecutive years. For 2021, KOA was one of only four suppliers who qualified for the prestigious Global Operations Excellence Award.

Eric Schenfield, KOA Speer National Distributor Sales Manager, commented: "We thank TTI for recognizing the efforts of our entire organisation, from manufacturing to shipping and everything in between. Meeting the Supplier Excellence criteria is a challenge in and of itself, say nothing of winning regional Best Quality Awards."
