Bosch award recognises performance and quality

The Elco Connector Division of AVX Corporation has received the prestigious Supplier Award from leading automotive company, Bosch, which acknowledges Elco's outstanding performance over the last two years with respect to quality, costs and on time delivery. Other factors influencing the award include Elco's industry leading technical abilities and a willingness and capability to develop its products and technology on a continuous basis.

AVX group companies supply many products to Bosch, but this bi-annual award award specifically covers the wide Elco connector product range, including press-fit ECU (Engine Control Unit), as well as comfort and safety connectors. The company has supplied Bosch for many years, and this is the first time Elco has won the award.

Commented Franz Fehrenbach, Chairman of the Board of Management at Robert Bosch GmbH: "Quality is for Bosch the critical success factor par excellence. We tolerate no compromise on this point, and this is why - in the long term - only suppliers offering top quality have a good chance to grow with Bosch."

Added John S. Gilbertson - Chief Executive Office and President of AVX Corp, "Bosch is respected as the leading supplier of quality systems to the automobile market. Their reputation for reliability has sustained their superior growth in the market. We are very proud to receive this Supplier Award from Bosch and will strive to ensure that we continue to improve the quality and reliability of the components we offer."
