CHICAGO -- Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) today announced it has been awarded a 2008 Total Cost of Ownership (TCOO(TM)) Supplier Award in the category of "Most Improved TCOO Score" from Celestica, a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions. This award recognizes suppliers that support Celestica's overall supply chain goal - to reduce the total cost of ownership for its customers and provide them with the flexibility they need to overcome any challenge.

"Littelfuse is proud to be recognized by Celestica," said Gordon Hunter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Littelfuse. "This award underscores Littelfuse's commitment to working closely with our customers to develop supply-chain programs and solutions that support their success."

This marks the third year of Celestica's TCOO Supplier Awards program.

As such, it considers the following supplier attributes: quality, delivery, technology, service, pricing and flexibility.
