/PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent

analysis of the calibration services market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes

Tektronix with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Market

Share Leadership. The company's footprint and focus on productivity and

quality have made it the market share leader and will help it sustain this lead in

the future.

The growing calibration services market—consisting broadly of original

equipment manufacturers (OEMs), third-party calibration service providers, and

in-house calibration laboratories—is a tough one to compete in since customers

want service providers with the widest geographic coverage, assured quality,

shortest service turnaround time (TAT), asset management capabilities and

competitive pricing.

Tektronix earned 25.9 percent of the revenues for calibration services in the

third-party calibration service providers market in 2011, making it the

undisputed leader in this segment. The company also participates as an OEM in

the market, making it the overall leader in the provision of calibration services

in

North America

.

"Key factors contributing to Tektronix' leadership position in the North American

has across the region, as well as their breadth of capability for calibrating a

wide range of equipment. Tektronix clearly focuses on increasing productivity

without sacrificing quality," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Director Jessy

Cavazos. "These aspects, combined with significant company investment in

growing international markets, argue positively for the company's growth

moving forward."

With 26 locations across the region, Tektronix has the largest number of

laboratories in

North America

and is in the best position to cater to customers

scattered across the region.

The company offers calibration and repair capabilities for more than 140,000

products from more than 9,000 manufacturers and benefits deeply from its

extensive experience in the test and measurement equipment market. As both

an OEM and third-party calibration service provider, the company is uniquely

positioned in the market.

Further, leveraging Danaher Business System (DBS) tools, Tektronix continues

to improve flow, turnaround time, and productivity in its calibration

laboratories. The company's TAT goal is less than five business days, which is

aggressive and on par with the objectives of leading third-party calibration

service providers in

North America

. One way this is achieved is by making

primary regional hubs, which have a higher concentration of high-end and
