To produce high-quality tires for North America and other major markets throughout the world, CEAT focuses on continuous improvement and innovation using Digital and Industry 4.0 technologies across its plants to enhance its value chain.

“Smart” factories, like the CEAT plant in Ambernath, that produces high-quality Ag, OTR and forestry radials for North America, have an agile work culture and are equipped with virtual reality-based training stations to ensure faster and better operator training.

The company upgraded its technology with Edge and Cloud architecture and developed a Digital Analytics Center of Excellence with over 25 experts to solve manufacturing issues digitally.

The Ambernath facility has received a Five Star rating in the Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council. The plant underwent a comprehensive, quantified, and robust evaluation of its occupational health and safety policies, processes and practices. The audit process included documentation review, interviews with senior management, employees and other key stakeholders, together with samplings of operational activities.

Mike Robinson, CEO British Safety Council, said: “The award of a five-star grading following our occupational best practice Health and Safety Audit is an outstanding achievement and is reflective of a proactive organization which is committed to continual improvement in its health and safety arrangements and managing risks to workers’ health, safety and wellbeing.”

CEAT Specialty Chief Executive Amit Tolani added, “This accomplishment highlights our firm dedication to ensuring the safety and welfare of our employees and stakeholders. We aim at constant enhancement of our health and safety management systems to uphold our standing as a best practice organization.”
