On the buses – Hankook wins second award for Blue Bird supply

It’s now two years since Hankook Tire began supplying AH12 steer and Z35A drive axle tyres to bus manufacturer Blue Bird Corporation for original equipment fitment on its school buses, and the US-based company has recognised Hankook’s efforts by bestowing it one of ten 2014 Outstanding Supplier Awards; Hankook award success was in the Polymer category. This is the second year in a row Hankook has received the award; the tyre maker says its back to back wins underscore the commitment shown in its original equipment activities with Blue Bird Corporation.

“Receiving this award for the second year in a row emphasises our commitment to outstanding quality and service,” said Brian Sheehey, director Commercial Tires, Hankook Tire America Corp. “Blue Bird Corporation is a valued partner of ours and we appreciate the message this award sends to not only our original equipment partners, but our bus customers too.”
