Federal Electronics, Inc. Receives Varian Semiconductor Equipment Outstanding Supplier Award

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 21, 2009 – CRANSTON, RHODE ISLAND -- Federal Electronics, Inc., a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services, today announced that it has been presented with a Strategic Supply Chain Award for recognition as an Outstanding Supplier by Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates (VSEA).

Federal Electronics, a supplier of higher level/frame level, circuit card, copper cable and wire harness and fiber optic interconnect assemblies to VSEA for the past 9 years, was honored with the award for exemplary support, quality of product, and flexibility in meeting VSEA’s needs.

Lori Ciano, Director of Supply Chain, stated “Varian Semiconductor has very high standards when it comes to the performance of our key suppliers. The very nature of our volatile industry and the increasingly tighter technical demands of our ultimate customers make meeting our requirements all the more difficult. Recognizing those facts, your accomplishments are even more outstanding and your contribution therefore even more valuable.”

“We are honored to have been selected by Varian Semiconductor as the first EMS provider to have received this prestigious award,” said Federal Electronics Vice President Edward Evangelista. “The quality, delivery, and flexibility demands placed upon semiconductor equipment manufacturers are some of the most stringent and exhaustive within the electronics industry. We are proud to be a part of the VSEA supply chain, and this award is the culmination of a great deal of hard work, communication and cooperation by both companies to develop a foundation that allowed us to execute at this level. We look forward to continuing our work with Varian and responding to the demands of this very challenging industry.”

The VSEA Outstanding Supplier Award follows the recent news that Federal Electronics, Inc. has received the Supplier Excellence 4 Star Award from Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.
