05 / Customer notes
What customers say
"Our audits at Simtek are the least stressful in our supply chain. The quality system is genuinely built for medical devices, and their quality team speaks ISO 13485 as fluently as our own regulatory people."
"Schedules move constantly in our world, and Simtek flexes with us without drama. Responsive, straight-talking, and they just make it work. It's the best supplier relationship we have."
"They flagged an end-of-life component and came to us with approved alternatives before we even knew there was a problem. That's what proactive obsolescence management actually looks like."
"Simtek held our hand from the first prototypes right through to volume production: DFM feedback, NPI builds, then a clean ramp. We wouldn't have reached market without them."
Named customer references are available on request.
