FOUNTAIN INN, SC, Aug 18, 2025 – KYOCERA AVX earned a Silver 2024 TTI Europe Supplier Excellence Award, marking both its tenth win in the region and its second such award this year, having earned a Silver 2024 TTI Asia Supplier Excellence Award as well.
TTI, Inc. formed the TTI Supplier Excellence Program in 1995 to foster improvement in supplier and distributor performance. The program annually recognizes global suppliers that exhibit excellence in terms of quality, operations, business systems, and support.
“The awards are more than just a trophy,” said Felix Corbett, supplier marketing director at TTI Europe. “They signify that suppliers have made great contributions to the way TTI’s business is run and to the level of performance we are able to provide to our customers. The program is globally consistent in all TTI regions. We closely monitor and track certain business-critical criteria and evaluate the specifics of our business with all our suppliers throughout the year.”
The Silver 2024 TTI Europe Supplier Excellence Award recognizes KYOCERA AVX for meeting key quality performance metrics. These metrics measure factors such as on-time delivery, positive reviews and feedback, administrative quality, ease of doing business, and the efficacy of support from all layers of employees. The purpose of these metrics is to improve supplier and distributor performance and ensure customer satisfaction across Europe.
“We are both proud and deeply honored to have earned our tenth TTI Europe Supplier Excellence Award,” said Alex Schenkel, senior vice president of global sales at KYOCERA AVX. “Earning just one of these prestigious awards is a significant achievement given the breadth and consistency of excellence that they recognize. So, the fact that we’ve now earned a total of 10 TTI Supplier Excellence Awards in Europe, six in Asia, and five in the Americas is a real testament to our team’s commitment to operational excellence, outstanding quality, and superior service, as well as to our longstanding partnership with TTI.”
