The Advanced Materials group of Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) is being honored for “supplier excellence” by Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), a world leader in high performance signal processing. Presented annually, this award is given to outstanding suppliers who partner with ADI and contribute to their business success while maintaining quality standards and advancing technology.

Throughout 2014, Materion facilities in Buffalo and Brewster, New York, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Subic Bay, Philippines and Singapore were key suppliers to ADI of packaging materials and thin film products.

Upon notification of the award, Materion Advanced Materials President Donald Klimkowicz commented, “Our employees are honored and grateful to be the recipient of this prestigious award. It is their commitment to excellence that made it possible. We look forward to continuing our key role in providing Analog Devices with superior products.”
