Lam Research has demonstrated industry-leading commitment across all critical focus areas on which they are measured: quality, cost, availability, technology, customer service, labour, and ethics systems and environmental sustainability. The company is recognized for its significant contributions providing Intel with Fab Etch and Deposition Equipment, deemed essential to Intel's success.
"On behalf of our employees, we sincerely appreciate receiving the Intel Preferred Quality Supplier award in 2015. This recognition is a result of a multiple-year investment and commitment to a mutually rewarding partnership," said Martin Anstice, Lam's president and chief executive officer. "We thank Intel for their trust in our technology and productivity solutions and for the opportunity to contribute to their success. We look forward to continuing to work together to extend Moore's Law and enable the ongoing progress of semiconductor technology."

"Lam has provided quality management systems, leading-edge equipment, technical expertise, and outstanding support. We look forward to continued success in 2016."
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.
