The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior performance. As key supplier of high purity radome composites materials, TenCate maintained a Silver composite performance rating for quality and delivery each month of the 12-month performance period, from 1 October 2012, to 30 September 2013. This year, Boeing recognised 582 suppliers who achieved either a Gold or Silver level Boeing Performance Excellence Award. TenCate is one of only 459 suppliers to receive the Silver level of recognition. Paul Draghi, senior vice-president of operations stated: “This recognition represents our second year in a row and is especially important as it recognizes our commitment to on-time delivery and quality across the materials we supply to Boeing.” TenCate supplies low dielectric radome prepregs to the Boeing 787 and EA-18 Growler programmes, and TenCate Cetex thermoplastics composites for a variety of Boeing aircraft. TenCate through its wholly owned subsidiary CCS Composites also fabricates compression moulded parts for Boeing’s V-22 Osprey helicopter, the F-18 programme and for Boeing 737, 747 and 787 commercial aircraft. www.boeingsuppliers.com/recognition www.tencateadvancedcomposites.com
