Chinese New Year 2012
A TCL Group Company
January 2012 will see the annual Chinese New Year holiday (Year of the Dragon) and consequential factory closures in China.
In order to anticipate potential PCB supply line issues we thought it would be prudent to advise you as early as possible of the expected closure dates.
Closure dates do vary, but for the majority of our factory partners our China office advises that we need to arrange for product to be clear of China customs by the 9th January 2012 prior to them becoming log-jammed with goods as New Year closure approaches. We expect factory production to re-commence on Monday 30th January, however in our experience most factories will take at least two weeks or so to return to full capacity following the closure.
In order to ensure continuity of supply we recommend orders requiring despatch from China ahead of New Year celebrations be placed in accordance with the chart below.
November 2011
The closure has further impact by adding approximately 3 weeks to all lead times encompassing weeks 6, 7 and 8 of 2012.
If you would like further information of the closures and how they could affect your January, February and March requirements and deliveries please do not hesitate to contact your Daleba Account Manager or alternatively you can contact us by email or phone.
