SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 10, 2014 - Applied
Materials, Inc. has been recognized as one of 18 companies
receiving Intel Corporation's Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS)
award for their performance in 2013. Applied Materials demonstrated
industry-leading commitment across all critical focus areas on
which Intel suppliers are measured: quality, cost, availability,
technology, customer service, labor and ethics systems, and
environmental sustainability. Applied Materials is recognized for
their significant contributions providing Intel with wafer fab
capital equipment, mask capital equipment, fab automation software,
and services, deemed essential to Intel's success.
"It is a great honor to receive Intel's Preferred
Quality Supplier award for the fourth consecutive year," said Dr.
Randhir Thakur, executive vice president and general manager of the
Silicon Systems Group at Applied Materials. "Our team deeply
appreciates our collaboration with Intel, a strong technology
leader instrumental in driving the advancement of Moore's Law. We
are very focused on delivering quality products with speed and
differentiation that meet Intel's high standards."
"Applied Materials is a role model in meeting the

to the wide variety of factory requirements across Intel's network.
We thank Applied Materials for their broad engagement and look
forward to even more progress to address overall cost issues in
2014," said Kirby Jefferson, VP and General Manager of F11X.
The PQS award is part of Intel's Supplier
Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) program that encourages
suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous improvement. To
qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a report
card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality,
availability, technology, environmental, social and governance
goals. Suppliers must also achieve 80 percent or greater on a
challenging improvement plan and demonstrate solid quality and
business systems. Additional information about the SCQI program is
available at http://intel.com/go/quality.
A celebration to honor PQS award winners was held
in Santa Clara, California themed "Deliver the Present and Create
the Future," which illustrates the contributions the suppliers made
in 2013. In addition, there was an announcement on Intel's website
