Emerson Network Power named 2007 Meritorious Performance Supplier by Sun Microsystems

According to Nate Vince, President, Computing & Storage of Emerson Network Power, We are delighted that Sun has chosen to honor us with this award. As a major OEM partner, Sun makes extensive use of our custom high efficiency AC/DC power supplies and embedded DC/DC power conversion products. Sun's implementation of an advanced global supply chain management solution, based on the Emerson Transaction HUB, gives Sun the flexibility to seamlessly handle increases in sales volume and reduce lead-time on multiple programs. Key customers such as Sun will continue to benefit from Emerson's solutions that provide for improved visibility and control of the entire order-to-delivery process.

The Best-in-Class Award evaluates the performance of all suppliers to Sun Microsystems that delivered a similar product or service and recognizes the highest performer in that area. This award also considers suppliers that demonstrated significant improvement over the course of Sun's fiscal year. The Meritorious Performance Award recognizes suppliers that have shown exemplary performance in any specific area.

Sun's direct-to-customer logistics model means we rely heavily on the support and determination of our supply base, said Eugene McCabe, executive vice president of Worldwide Operations at Sun. We congratulate the top suppliers that are helping us build a reputation for record on-time delivery, lead-time performance and superior support.
