Semflex Inc. Receives STAR Supplier Facility Award
From Lockheed Martin
MESA, AZ (May 9, 2002) ------Semflex Inc., a designer/manufacturer of standard and custom RF and microwave cable assemblies for the telecommunications, military/aerospace and test instrumentation markets, was awarded Lockheed Martin Corporation's highest level of supplier recognition, the STAR Supplier Facility Award at a ceremony at their Mesa, AZ headquarters today. Semflex is the first Arizona firm to be honored with this prestigious award. Donald Howe, Electro/Mech Technology Manager, presented the award on behalf of Lockheed Martin to Cameron Selogie, VP/General Manager of Semflex. The ceremony was attended by more than 200 people, including the Mayor of Mesa, AZ Keno Hawker, liaisons of Senator John McCain and Congressman J.D. Hayworth, and corporate executives from Sterling Holding Company.
Lockheed Martin introduced the STAR Supplier Program in 1998. Today, it is recognized as one of the largest productivity and change management initiatives ever undertaken by a major corporation. Toward the goal of improved quality, the STAR program engages Lockheed Martin suppliers as partners to facilitate a smaller, higher-performing supplier base. The STAR classification automatically distinguishes award recipients as top performing suppliers against a standardized criteria and selection process, and these suppliers are offered increased exposure for business opportunities across the company's various business units.
Says Cameron Selogie, Semflex Vice President/General Manager, "It is an honor to be recognized among the elite of Lockheed Martin's many suppliers worldwide. The company has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with LMC since our early days as a local start-up company. This distinction was earned by the dedication of our employee team to delivering consistently high quality products to Lockheed Martin, over a long period of time."
