Atlantic Fasteners received Lockheed Martin’s STAR Supplier Award at its headquarters in West Springfield, MA.
The Lockheed Martin STAR Supplier Award recognizes high-performing suppliers of Electronic Systems and Lockheed’s other three business areas.
Only 36 of the Lockheed division’s 4,625 vendors received the award, placing Atlantic Fasteners in better than the top 1% percent of suppliers.
“It’s such an honor to be a STAR Supplier of Lockheed Martin,” said Marc Dionne, Atlantic Fasteners military-aerospace division leader. “It’s great motivation for all of us in the aerospace division.”
Sales and market share have grown for the Atlantic Fasteners military-aerospace division in 2009 despite the tight economy. Dionne noted that orders are coming from long-time customers as well as new customers, including other divisions of Lockheed Martin.
“Business with Lockheed Martin has grown significantly since we became a STAR Supplier,” Dionne said.
