Dow Corning Corporation was named a recipient of Intel Corporation’s 2007 Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award for outstanding performance in providing products and services deemed essential to Intel’s success.
The company is awarded for its efforts supplying Intel with thermal interface materials and adhesives. Dow Corning Corporation and 34 additional PQS award winners will be honored at a celebration in Burlingame, California on March 18.
“A key objective for Dow Corning Electronics is to be a high-quality and reliable supply chain partner. This is the sixth PQS Award we’ve been honored to receive from Intel, and we look forward to meeting their exact needs for proven, innovative materials in the future,” said Marie Eckstein, vice president and general manager, Dow Corning’s Advanced Technologies and Ventures Business.
“Congratulations to Dow Corning for being a PQS winner in 2007,” said Jeff Selvala, director, Assembly Test Global Materials, Intel Corporation. “Dow Corning’s performance in 2007 was outstanding with continuous delivery of high quality materials to Intel’s world wide high volume manufacturing factories. Dow Corning has executed consistently in the areas of cost, technology, and quality.”
The PQS awards are part of Intel’s Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) process that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality, availability, delivery, technology and responsiveness goals. Suppliers must also manage and deliver on a challenging improvement plan and a quality systems assessment. Additional information about the SCQI program is available at http://supplier.intel.com/quality.
Intel will also recognize PQS award winners with an advertisement in the U.S., Europe and Asia editions of The Wall Street Journal on March 18, 2008.
