Raytheon awards TriQuint with a 4-Star Supplier Excellence Award (SEA)

Raytheon has recognized TriQuint Semiconductor for supporting its Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business during 2008, and awarded with a 4-star supplier excellence award (SEA).

TriQuint says, it was one of five companies recognized by Raytheon at the four-star level, winning suppliers represent less than one percent of the SAS supply base. Only 30 companies of the 3,000 that supply Raytheon SAS received awards.

"We're extremely proud of this recognition by Raytheon SAS for the second consecutive year that spotlights our service and work on chipsets for phased array radar and other critical programs," remarked Tom Cordner, TriQuint Vice President, who received the award along with Dr. Gailon Brehm, TriQuint's Military Products Marketing Director.

"Recognition by Raytheon SAS is gratifying because it honors the TriQuint professionals who dedicate themselves to defense and aerospace products. We know service men and women across the globe depend on Raytheon systems and the contributions our products make to their operations," remarked Dr. Brehm. "We continually strive to offer customers the best service available from our top-rated foundry, supported by the ISO/AS9100 Approved Quality System."
