TriQuint Awarded Huawei Green Partner Certification

HILLSBORO, Ore. & SHANGHAI--()--TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT), a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, has received the “Huawei Green Partner” award in recognition for its ability to provide an environmental management system that ensures product content and manufacturing processes meet or exceed Huawei’s stringent green requirements.

Huawei commits to providing innovative and customized telecom products, services and solutions, and has always embraced environmental protection as a crucial part of its sustainable development; the Huawei GP program was established to encourage suppliers to produce components with minimal environmental impact.

Suppliers can achieve Huawei Green Partner status by meeting these requirements and by demonstrating compliance via an on-site audit.

Grant, TriQuint Vice President, Worldwide Operations. “Certification as a Huawei Green Partner highlights TriQuint’s strong commitment to quality products and environmental responsibility.”
