Partnerships With Top-Ranked Semiconductor Manufacturers
We pride ourselves on our ability to buy significant quantities of SOJs and TSOPs directly from top semiconductor manufacturers. This is due to our successful strategy of building long-term partnerships with companies such as Toshiba, Hitachi, NEC and others. In return, Century has earned awards of recognition and the status as a "first tier" account with these major corporations. Furthermore, an increasing number of vendors have been encouraged by this philosophy to become consistent partners with Century.		 Century has also signed an agreement with Micron to use U.S. made DRAM in products for sale into Century's existing retail channel in Japan - an important element in U.S. / Japan trade relations.
