HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, March 17, 2008 - Tyco Electronics 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 CPU sockets, connectors and passive compontents. Tyco Electronics and 34 additional PQS award winners will be honored at a celebration in Burlingame, California on March 18.

"We are very pleased to once again receive Intel's prestigious Preferred Quality Supplier award," said Tom Lynch, CEO of Tyco Electronics.

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 supplier.intel.com/quality.
