Spokane Valley,
WA— December 11, 2009 – Key Tronic Corporation
(Nasdaq: KTCC and dba “KeyTronicEMS”), a provider of electronic
manufacturing services (EMS), today announced that it has been selected by
Circuits Assembly, a leading electronics industry publisher, as its “EMS
Company of the Year.”
Mike
Buetow, editor-in-chief of Circuits Assembly, highlights Key Tronic’s 23

with the manufacturing version of the H1N1 virus during the past 12 months.”
Mr.
Buetow also recognizes Key Tronic for its continued customer diversification in
challenging times, driven by its experienced management team, wide range of
design and manufacturing capabilities, worldwide footprint and customer
responsiveness.
“For its unique but systematic approach to the electronics
manufacturing services rollercoaster, and its stellar performance in all types
of business environments, Key Tronic is Circuits Assembly’s 2009 EMS Company
of the Year.”
“We’re extremely honored to be recognized by this
leading industry publication as the EMS Company of the Year for 2009,” said
Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Circuits Assembly did a
great job of capturing the challenging transitions and market conditions that
we’ve overcome, our unique capabilities and positioning in the EMS
marketplace, and our excitement about the growth opportunities for Key Tronic in
the years ahead.”
