“Dow has demonstrated itself to be an exceptionally trustworthy partner over the past year that deserves more than an excellent supplier award,” commented Epistar’s chairman Dr BJ Lee upon presenting the award on 30 March at its facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan. “Dow is a key, long-term supplier that we rely on for critical materials and technical service, both now and in the future,” he added.

Attending the award ceremony on behalf of Epistar were Dr Lee, president Dr MJ Jou, logistics director Jack Lin, and procurement deputy manager Cathy Lin, as well as Derek Ma, vice director of LED epiwafer and chip maker Huga Optotech Inc (in which Epistar is the largest shareholder). Accepting the award for Dow’s Metalorganic Technologies business were global business director Joe Reiser, Greater China sales & operations director Leo Tsay, and Taiwan sales manager Johnny Chien.

“It is a tremendous validation of our efforts to receive this recognition from Epistar, which acknowledges the quality of products, technical expertise and personnel we bring to every customer,” said Reiser. “We look forward to building on our cooperation with Epistar and continuing to enhance our product and service offerings to increase our support in the future.”
