Henkel Loctite was named a recipient of Intel Corporation's Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award for outstanding performance in providing products and services deemed essential to Intel's success. The company was awarded for its efforts in supplying Intel with die attach adhesives and underfill materials.

"Intel continually sets and then raises the standards of quality expectation and excellence that motivates and drives our continuous quality improvement aspirations," said Patrick Trippel, president of Henkel Loctite. "We work diligently to be rewarded with Intel's business, but in addition to revenue, another key benefit derived from this close association is the evolution of becoming a more valued supplier to our entire customer base."

"Henkel Loctite has a long history with Intel and our Supplier Continuous Quality improvement Process. They were recipients of the Intel SCQI 2001 award and the Intel PQS award in 1997, 1998 and 2000," said Mark Kaltenbach, general manager, Intel ATMO. "It continues to demonstrate dedication to quality and commitment to improvement."

The PQS awards are part of Intel's Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) process that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality, availability, delivery, technology and responsiveness goals. Suppliers must also manage and deliver on a challenging improvement plan and a quality systems assessment.
