Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems business instituted the annual Supplier Excellence Awards program to recognize suppliers who have provided outstanding service and partnership in exceeding customer requirements.

A 5-Star recognition is the highest level of recognition a Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems business supplier can achieve for excellence in quality and performance, and Sparton was one of 12 companies selected.

In addition to achieving the 5-Star Award for performance in 2014, Sparton was recognized for its performance in the Affordability category with a Bronze Award. The special Affordability award recognizes the recipient for working in partnership with Raytheon to identify cost reduction opportunities and ensure market competitiveness for the Patriot (News - Alert) Air and Missile Defense program.

Sparton's Plaistow, NH facility supplies sub-assemblies for the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, Zumwalt Class Destroyer, and THAAD & AN/TPY-2 Radar Systems programs.

"Receiving this prestigious honor three years in a row is a remarkable achievement," said Jamie Shaddix, Group Vice President Mi/Aero Manufacturing Services for Sparton Corporation. "Achieving a 100% score on these challenging metrics in a single year is difficult enough, but to do it three years running is extraordinary.
