"EV Group's customer-driven technology and operations, including a willingness to innovate and invest in challenging applications, and its support for early technology implementations, help enable its customers to bring products to market cost-effectively. These attributes, along with a focus on equipment design aimed at high-volume industrial production, play a crucial role in the company's approach to customer satisfaction," noted G. Dan Hutcheson, VLSIresearch CEO and chairman. "Excellent overall customer and technical support, long-term partnership, and the high degree of quality in their equipment, were among the attributes cited by customers in their feedback of EVG in this year's Customer Satisfaction Survey.
