Dow Electronic Materials, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, announces that it has received ON Semiconductor's Perfect Quality Gold Award for 2012.
Dow earned the award based on its perfect quality score for both 2011 and 2012 in ON Semiconductor's FE Supplier Performance Rating as a supplier of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and lithography materials.
"This award is a testament to our focus on ensuring customer satisfaction," said Jim Fahey, ST Global Business Director for Dow Electronic Materials. "At Dow, we consistently strive to meet the needs of our customers with the highest quality materials backed by strong collaboration and extensive service capabilities."
Edward Orr, Strategic Account Manager, and Kirk Brown, Technical Manager of Dow Electronic Materials accepted the award in a ceremony at ON Semiconductor.
