Endevco receives STARS 2000 award from Cessna for the second consecutive year in recognition of superior supplier performance in four categories

Endevco Corporation, the leader in sensing solutions for demanding vibration, shock and pressure applications, has received the prestigious Cessna STARS 2000 award for exemplary performance as a key supplier for the second year in a row.

The Cessna Supplier Tracking and Rating Systems 2000 (STARS 2000) program measures supplier performance in four categories: quality, reliability, schedule and cost. To earn a STARS 2000 award, suppliers must achieve at least a 98% reliability rate over the previous 12 months, 99% on-time delivery, a defect rate of less than 0.1%, and long-term cost savings of 2% or more.

"Cessna presents the Star Award annually to our highest performing suppliers. Being just acceptable does not make the grade to achieve it," noted Jack Pelton, chairman, president and CEO of Cessna. "It is the highest honor Cessna gives to its suppliers. For the last two years, Endevco has proven it can be best in class."

For 60 years, Endevco has been delivering the most trusted sensing solutions and program support for the aviation and aerospace programs around the world. From single-engine aircraft to the space shuttle to the latest in fighter aircraft, Endevco has set the industry standard and achieved an impressive list of industry "firsts" in flight testing and inertial measurement for the most advanced aerospace vehicles as well as for vehicle dynamics studies. In addition to the Cessna STARS 2000 award, the company also recently received a Total Quality Supplier award from the United Launch Alliance joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

"We are honored to be one of the few suppliers to have earned this prestigious award for two years running in both 2005 and 2006," said Endevco President Scott Silcock. "This achievement symbolizes our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest quality sensing products for the aviation and aerospace industry backed by exceptional customer support. We are very proud to be part of Cessna's continued success."
