WALTHAM, Mass., Sep 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MLNK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Eleven out of 15 companies recognized by AMR Research in its 2009 Supply Chain Top 25: High-Tech are ModusLink Global Solutions(TM), Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) clients, demonstrating that ModusLink is an invaluable supply chain provider for companies in the technology industry. While a tight economy impacts organizations across all industries, the technology sector is faced with specific product and marketing challenges that elevate supply chain efficiency and effectiveness to mission critical for long-term viability. The organizations chosen for the 2009 Supply Chain Top 25: High-Tech are the 15 top-performing supply chains specific to the technology industry that were reviewed for the non-industry-specific AMR Research 2009 Supply Chain Top 25. Ten of the 15 technology organizations included in the 2009 High Tech list were also listed in the original 2009 Supply Chain Top 25.

"For these high-tech companies, competition is fierce and product lifecycles short," said C.J. Wehlage and Debra Hofman, AMR Research. "A weapon to win customers, gain market share, and maximize margin, supply chain excellence is valued and critical. In a span of six months, a high-tech supply chain practitioner will experience a strategic network design, new product ramp, steady supply chain management (SCM) complexities, and end-of-life challenges. With this cycle repeating across multiple products, the industry innovates and refines supply chain practices. Their ability to survive is why so many high-tech companies are in the Supply Chain Top 25."

Organizations named to the 2009 Supply Chain Top 25: High-Tech are judged on both financial metrics as well as peer panel opinion, with financial indicators accounting for 60 percent of the total score and opinion 40 percent.

"Clients turn to ModusLink to eliminate cost and increase efficiency in their supply chains," said Joseph C. Lawler, chairman, president, chairman and chief executive officer for ModusLink Global Solutions. "Our focus on the technology industry, combined with our global footprint, deep expertise and history in the space, allows us to continually fine tune operations to position our clients to strongly compete in the marketplace."

ModusLink provides a complete range of supply chain business process management services. Its four core competencies include supply chain, e-Business, aftermarket and entitlement management. ModusLink solutions are an integrated extension of its clients' multichannel, global supply chains aimed at improving global operating efficiency and time to market, while reducing cost.
