Dialog Semiconductor Sweeps Hat-trick of Industry Technology Awards

Wins Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) EMEA Leadership Council Award, Elektra Company of the Year & Fabless Semiconductor Supplier of the Year

Kirchheim/Teck, 15th December 2009 – Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a leading provider of highly integrated innovative power management semiconductor solutions, completed a hat-trick of major European awards by winning the GSA’s EMEA Leadership Council Award. This adds to the two Elektra European Electronics Industry Awards won earlier this month - Company of the Year and Fabless Semiconductor Supplier of the Year.

The GSA’s President, Jodi Shelton, commented, "The GSA EMEA Leadership Council Award recognises semiconductor companies headquartered in the EMEA region that demonstrate strength in market leadership/competition; product lines; innovation; corporate management and overall likelihood of long-term success. The GSA is excited to be honouring a company of Dialog’s calibre with the inaugural award for their successes of 2009"

The Elektra Award’s Fabless Semiconductor Supplier of the Year Award is bestowed to a company that has demonstrated great commercial success for new product introductions and specific product intellectual property (IP) developments during 2009. Company of the Year is independently chosen from the winners of each of the individual categories by the Elektra Awards judging panel. Technology innovation and business success were taken into account to highlight the company that has delivered outstanding achievements in 2009. Dialog is the only company to have won multiple awards at this year’s event.

“We’re delighted to round off this spectacular year with such prestigious recognition. Congratulations to the whole Dialog team for contributing to this outstanding achievement. It is testament to our core technologies and the strength of the newly invigorated Dialog for the company as a whole to be acknowledged publicly in this way,” said Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor.
