Fairchild Semiconductor Receives Celestica’s 2009 Total Cost of Ownership Supplier Award

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile products, has been awarded a 2009 Total Cost of Ownership (TCOOTM) Supplier Award from Celestica, a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions. The awards program recognizes suppliers that support Celestica’s TCOO sourcing strategy to provide its customers with the best possible supply chain solution for their products.

“We’re very pleased to receive this supplier award from Celestica,” said Andrea Mirenda, Fairchild’s vice president, Global EMS. “Making our customers successful is a key initiative for Fairchild and this award recognizes our efforts to meet Celestica’s strategic lead-time management goals. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Celestica, and are committed to delivering high-quality product performance and excellent supply chain management to drive end-product differentiation."

This marks the fourth year of Celestica’s TCOO Supplier Awards program, which evaluates and recognizes the top performers in Celestica’s global network of over 3,000 suppliers. Celestica’s TCOO system is focused on evaluating supplier performance by measuring the total cost to produce, deliver and support products and services beyond the supplier invoice price. As such, it considers the following supplier attributes: quality, delivery, technology, service, pricing and flexibility.

"Congratulations Fairchild for being recognized with a 2009 TCOO Supplier Award,” said Harvinder Sembhi, Chief Procurement Officer, Celestica. “I sincerely thank Fairchild for supporting Celestica’s supply chain strategy and helping us to drive speed, flexibility and responsiveness through the supply chain.”
