Vishay Intertechnology Receives "Perfect Order" Awards From Arrow Electronics


MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced that it received two 2011 Silver-level "Perfect Order" awards from Arrow Electronics, Inc.

It was received on behalf of Vishay by David Valletta, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales; Greg Mefford, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Distribution Sales; and John Blackerby, Distributor Strategic Account Manager. The award in the semiconductor category will be presented at Arrow's Voice of the Supplier conference on June 12.

Speaking in April, when the awards were first announced, Don Elario, Arrow's Director of Quality for the Americas and Global Leader of Arrow's Quality Network, said, "Arrow strives to provide the highest level of service to our customers.
