May 5, 2011 – Marketwire — Tektronix Service Solutions, single-source provider of instrument calibration, repair and related services, was chosen by NXP (NQ:NXPI) to provide calibration and repair services for all test and measurement instruments at NXP’s production and development sites in the Netherlands.

The contract will be managed by the Fluke Service operation in Eindhoven on behalf of the Service Solutions Organization and will allow NXP to focus on its core business, leaving the calibration of its test and measurement instruments to the experts.

"Metrology plays a crucial role in the development and production of our products, and it is therefore vitally important to ensure that our test instruments are well-maintained and calibrated," said Leon Sintnicolaas, GM of the European Quality Labs at NXP Semiconductors. "When we decided to outsource the maintenance and calibration of our equipment…we chose Tektronix Service Solutions to take over this contract because we felt that they were able to offer the expertise and reliability we were looking for."

Tektronix Service Solutions provides asset management, calibration, repair, product and compliance testing, and quality certification. The company combines the service capabilities of Tektronix, Fluke and multi-vendor service teams of Davis Calibration and Sypris Test & Measurement into a single, service-focused organization.
