Albany, OR. May 13, 2008 –

At a meeting held today in Norwood, MA, MEI, LLC, a leading provider of semiconductor services and equipment, received a “Supplier Excellence Award”, an honor bestowed by Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) at an awards ceremony in Hong Kong in April. Based on an exacting supplier rating program, only 15 suppliers were chosen for this special recognition out of a supplier base of more than 2000 vendors. Liam McCaffrey, Director of Purchasing, Worldwide Manufacturing, said “We are recognizing those companies who have mastered the business fundamentals needed to be great suppliers, continuously delivering quality products and services on time and without disruption”. MEI holds the distinction of having won the Analog Devices Inc. “Supplier Excellence Award” five years in a row, recognizing their consistent, outstanding performance and continuous improvement; strategic contribution to ADI’s technology and market leadership; anticipation and delivery of cost reduction initiatives; and exemplary commitment to manufacturing excellence.

MEI has expanded its bookings and services with Analog Devices each year. This continuous growth has been driven by MEI’s high quality Wet Processing and innovative Chemical Delivery equipment, commitment to strong customer service, deep understanding of Analog’s business needs, and a proactive approach to providing both equipment and service solutions.

Dan Cappello, MEI CEO comments, “Anticipating customer needs and providing the solutions that save our customers time, money and hassle is our mission. Whether it is proving tailored equipment to fit specific wet processing steps, refurbishing older equipment to perform better, installing process control software to integrate chemical delivery and wet processing, or providing services to maintain or move process equipment, MEI tries to anticipate the needs and propose appropriate, valued added solutions.” Liam McCaffrey, manager of purchasing in world manufacturing for Analog Devices echoed those thoughts, “MEI continues to look for ways to contribute to ADI’s performance, and it is this effort and their consistent excellent performance which has won them this award”.
