Japanese manufacturing of Flash Memory & USBs affected
Mar 14, 2011 at 04:38PM Many of the high quality flash memory chips we use in the Custom USBs are manufatured in Japan. Understandably much of this manufacturing has been affected by the recent events.
Sadly one of our manufacturers is totally destroyed, our hearts go out to them and their families and colleagues.
Naturally the impact will put heavy demands on the existing manufacturers in South East Asia and we have already been advised that pricing will be affected until the situation returns to normal.
Please note that we will only be able to confirm pricing on placement of orders due to the volatility of the supply situation and this is likely to change daily. We are sourcing other suppliers to maintain continuity for our clients.
We will update on this situation as we receive more information, however it is expected to have an impact for some time in all areas reliant on flash memory. Further information can be obtained by contacting Lyndsey or Peter on 08 9375 3902 or 1300 4 PROCOPY
