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 />
