SANTA CLARA, CA, Mar 5, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Applied Materials, Inc. has been recognized as one of 19 companies receiving Intel Corporation's Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award for their performance in 2014.

Applied Materials is recognized for their significant contributions providing Intel with wafer fab capital equipment, mask capital equipment, fab automation software, and services, deemed essential to Intel's success.
"We are extremely pleased to receive our fifth consecutive Intel Preferred Quality Supplier Award," said Dr. Randhir Thakur, executive vice president and general manager of the Silicon Systems Group at Applied Materials.
