| Saporito Named Top Vendor By Task Force Tips |
 |
Cicero, IL . . . Saporito Finishing Company, specialists in finishes for aluminum, magnesium and
zinc die castings, has received the Vendor of the Year Award from Task Force Tips (TFT), a
manufacturer of high performance fire suppression equipment based in Valparaiso, IN.
Saporito was selected from 271 suppliers for their work in anodizing and plating aluminum nozzle
parts. Companies were judged on a nine-point vendor checklist that measured performance
against technical standards as well as overall business practices. This is the second time
Saporito has won the award from TFT.
"One of the key measures is how many parts are non-conforming per ISO 9000 standards.
Saporito only had six or seven problems out of the tens of thousands of parts they supply to us,"
said Kevin Briggs, materials manager for TFT. "In addition, they're a good partner in terms of
turnaround and adapting quickly to our changing needs."
Specific selection criteria included product quality and performance; consistency and accuracy of
delivery and the packing of product and shipping quality. Other measures included competitive
pricing; invoicing accuracy; knowledge and helpfulness of the sales and support staff; and overall
cooperation.
"In light of today's stringent manufacturing requirements and expectations, this award is
particularly gratifying," said Mike Swasko, Saporito's sales manager.
