ANAC (Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings) was recently presented with the Boeing Performance Excellence Award for service as a supplier during 2007.

This puts ANAC among the top 2% of the more than 14,000 different companies that provide products and services to Boeing. Just 250 made the grade for this award by achieving silver or gold levels of performance based on stringent quality and delivery standards.

"ANAC has always been committed to high performance standards and exceeding our customers' expectations," said John Griffin, General Manager of the Americas. "As a valued partner, it is truly an honor for ANAC to receive this recognition from the Boeing Corporation."

The award was presented at a special ceremony in April, where top Boeing Executives presented their outlook on the future, highlighted the important role of strategic suppliers, and how they can contribute to Boeing's future success.

"Boeing grows by delivering on what our customers want today and anticipating what they will need in the future," said John Tracy, Boeing Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Engineering, Operations and Technology. "By achieving and maintaining exceptional levels of performance, these suppliers are helping to ensure future success for both Boeing and themselves."
