Two supplier<br />

awards presented<br />

for the first time<br />

Supplier awards<br />

Last year AT&S presented two supplier awards for<br />

the first time. Panasonic received the Supplier of<br />

the Year Award. The company’s ongoing development<br />

of its product range and resin systems for<br />

high-end base materials has played a crucial role<br />

in establishing the Group’s technological leadership.<br />

Outstanding product quality, improvements<br />

to the resin systems used in Europe and a number<br />

of localisation projects in Asia have also supported<br />

AT&S’s drive to boost cost effectiveness.<br />

The Sustainability Award went to Atotech for its<br />

chemical reduction programme. An inline analysis<br />

of AT&S’s production facilities formed the basis<br />

for a 25% cut in chemicals consumption and significantly<br />

higher bath stability, which in turn led to<br />

quality improvements in production. Sustainability<br />

has generated threefold benefits: lower costs,<br />

higher quality and a reduction in chemicals use.<br />

Sustainability here goes hand-in-hand with cost<br />

effectiveness.<br />
