The award was presented at Southco\u2019s annual Supplier Conference held in Concordville, Pennsylvania.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award was presented to Tim Fox, Director of Business Development for Vexos and is recognition for superior performance, collaboration and innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Vexos was chosen out of 500 suppliers and is one of Southco\u2019s major providers of electronics manufacturing services and supply chain solutions, supporting their portfolio of premium access solutions available to equipment designers to enhance the touch points of their products in transportation and industrial applications, medical equipment, data centers and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Jona, CEO and President, commented, \u201cWe are honored to be recognized with this prestigious award. Throughout our partnership with Southco, we have continuously identified new ways in which our teams could collaborate to increase productivity while delivering exceptional quality and seamless execution.

I am so proud of you all and feel lucky and grateful to work with the Vexos team on a daily basis. You are the best performing among 500+ suppliers in the Americas.\u201d Qianhong continues to say, \u201cSouthco and Vexos have been working to build this partnership in the past 12 years. I believe we will be better and stronger every year, for we are a team and work seamlessly together.&nbsp;&nbsp;Southco had a successful year in 2018 and Vexos has been working hard to meet our business requirements. Thanks a million, to the Vexos&#8217; team members for contributing to our business. You are highly appreciated and deserve the award!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights of 2018:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market condition has been challenging since May 2018 with demand running higher than supply. Vexos worked with us to vacuum up components worldwide to stock for us. The project saved a lot of time for our engineers to evaluate alternative parts as the unit price for some increased by 100%-400% last summer. Southco management recognized the efforts and contribution to secure supply continuity under severe market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The lead time has become really long in electronics industry (at 6 to 12 months for some parts). It was challenging to prepare components for orders that Southco did not place regularly. Vexos had to search for parts for us in the spot buy market and did so in a timely manner for dozens of orders.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Vexos team was highly efficient in handling this time-consuming process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Vexos team has always responded to our requests from different countries in a timely manner. They also worked with us to improve payment terms, among other things.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vexos.com.superdorx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Web-Southco-award.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-989940\" width=\"573\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vexos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Web-Southco-award.jpg 812w, https:\/\/www.vexos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Web-Southco-award-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.vexos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Web-Southco-award-768x781.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><figcaption><em>In picture left to right: Qianhong Wei, Southco &#8211; Tim Fox, Vexos &#8211; Florian Reuter, Southco<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>About Southco<\/strong>: Southco, Inc. is the leading global designer and manufacturer of engineered access solutions.
