The company’s employee relations practices, emphasizing the highest employee recruitment and retention standards, provides further evidence of Infotek Technologies commitment. I know of few, if any, other companies in our market or our business where such a high value is placed both on customer care and on the people who deliver it. We are sending a signal that our comapny will remain involved in assuring the highest level of customer service possible.

In today's challenging business environment, superior value and support from equipment suppliers are critical to manufacturers focused on delivering next-generation devices on time and on budget. To address these requirements, Credence has implemented several quality and reliability initiatives over the past year based on feedback from our customers. These programs have driven continuous improvement in our products, services and customer satisfaction, and we look forward to building on this success in the future.
