Tyco Electronics Receives Intel's Preferred Quality Supplier Award
BERWYN, Pa. - March 5, 2009 - Tyco Electronics has received Intel Corporation's Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award recognizing their significant contributions to Intel in 2008. Tyco Electronics supplies Intel with CPU sockets, connectors and passive components, deemed essential to Intel's success. Tyco Electronics and 25 additional suppliers are recognized as 2008 PQS award winners.
"Tyco Electronics is honored to receive Intel's Preferred Quality Supplier award for the third consecutive year, and for the fourth time in the past five years," said Tyco Electronics chief executive officer, Tom Lynch. "We look forward to continuing to provide the service, quality, reliability and spirit of partnership they have come to expect from us."

Their commitment to excellence and continuous improvement makes them a highly valued partner with Intel," said Jeff Selvala, Assembly Test Global Materials director, Intel Corporation.
The PQS award is part of Intel's Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) program 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/business systems assessment. Furthermore, the 2008 awardees had to demonstrate basic compliance to the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct and Intel's Green Sustainability Program. Additional information about the SCQI program is available at http://supplier.intel.com/quality/scqi.htm.
Celebrations will be held in Tokyo, Japan and Santa Clara, California during the month of March 2009 to honor the PQS award winners. In addition, there will be an online advertisement launch and acknowledgement on Intel's website.
