Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B) has won the
prestigious Impact Supplier of the Year award from Lucent
Technologies (NYSE:LU). Lucent's Supply Chain Networks organization
bestowed the Impact award -- the company's highest tribute to its
top-tier suppliers -- at Lucent's annual Supplier Recognition
Awards Celebration on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, in Murray Hill, N.J.
"Lucent takes a great deal of pride in developing relationships
with the kinds of suppliers who share our commitment to our global
customers with reliable, high quality technology, and we rely on
the support of extraordinary manufacturing suppliers like Freescale
to help us do that," said Joe Carson, vice-president and chief
procurement executive at Lucent Technologies. "Freescale has
consistently exceeded our expectations in critical areas that are
essential to helping us meet the needs of our customers. We
appreciate Freescale's agility and excellence in customer service
as we work together." "Receiving Lucent's Impact award is a
tremendous honor which we're proud to accept on behalf of everyone
at Freescale," said David Perkins, senior vice president and
general manager of Freescale's Networking and Computing Systems
Group. "As a long-time supplier of communications processors to
Lucent, we never waver in our commitment to helping Lucent win in
the networking and communications marketplace with superior
solutions that in turn help enable their customers' success."
During the awards ceremony, Lucent cited Freescale's excellence in
supply agility, technical support and best-in-class customer
service and relationship as key criteria for winning the 2006
manufacturing supplier of the year award. The technical merit of
the 2005 Freescale Technology Forum, attended by Lucent design
engineers, was also a decisive factor in the award decision. Prior
to receiving this year's Impact award, Freescale won two major
Lucent supplier awards in December 2004: -- The Golden Link award
for excellence in delivery, technology, value, quality and overall
customer relationship. -- The Winning Edge award for supporting
Lucent's strategic bids and proposals and providing strategic
pricing assistance, resulting in cost reductions. Freescale
