Skyworks receives Diamond Supplier Award from Lenovo for outstanding service and support

Analog semiconductor maker Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA has received the Diamond Supplier Award from Lenovo for providing “outstanding service and support”.

The award, which is the highest recognition Lenovo provides to suppliers, specifically recognizes Skyworks for being a strategic partner and playing an instrumental role in delivering low-cost, customized solutions supporting the company’s recent product launches. Lenovo uses a variety of Skyworks front-end solutions including multi-mode, multi-band power amplifiers (MMPAs), antenna switches, diodes and global positioning system (GPS) devices.

“Over the past 10 years Skyworks has been a valuable partner, particularly as Lenovo has continued to diversify beyond the personal computer into smartphones, tablets and smart televisions,” says Lenovo’s VP of procurement David Wang.

The award is Skyworks’ second from Lenovo in two consecutive years. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Lenovo and supporting their continued growth in China and abroad,” says Bradley C. Byk, Skyworks’ senior VP of worldwide sales.

As the world’s fourth-largest smartphone provider, Lenovo plans to expand its sales of smartphones beyond China, adding 20 new markets in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. According to a market report from International Data Corp, Lenovo shipped 15.8 million smartphones in second-quarter 2014 and grew its market share to 5.4%, up from 4.7% a year ago.
