KEMET Receives 2005 Supplier Excellence Awards from TTI North America and TTI Europe
Greenville, SC (June 7, 2006) - KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM) is proud to announce that it has been honored to receive TTI's Supplier Excellence Award for North America at the Platinum level. This coveted award recognizes KEMET for the highest level of performance in sales, customer service, quality, and on-time delivery. Reaching the platinum level is a very special accomplishment, as it requires receiving the award for at least five consecutive years. KEMET has actually received the award for eleven consecutive years.
For the second consecutive year, KEMET has also been awarded the TTI Europe Supplier Excellence Award, which represents the highest recognition possible for a TTI Europe supplier. The stringent criteria for the award include Quality Measurements, Performance Measurements, and Discretionary Measurements, such as Management Participation and Field Sales Performance. Achieving this prestigious award for two years in a row places KEMET at the bronze level.
"We are absolutely thrilled to receive these awards recognizing our value to TTI as one of their most trusted supplier partners," said KEMET CEO Per Loof. "Having achieved both of these awards for multiple years is particularly gratifying. I am confident we can continue to deliver more and more value to TTI moving forward, earning us another Platinum level award next year and moving us up to the Silver Level of recognition in Europe for three consecutive years."
