I should start thinking about National Day soon...

The 13th edition of Adapter NEWS was titled “It's about time to start thinking about the National Day holidays...” and focused on scheduling delivery deadlines with consideration for both Japanese and Chinese holidays. As is the case every year, double-checking in advance enables smooth product supply.

This edition of “Unifive Adapter NEWS (Vol. 13)” is about...

“It’s about time to start thinking about the National Day holiday...”

  Our products are made to order and manufactured in China. Therefore, the holiday schedules differ from those in Japan. For example, Japan has Golden Week, which was up to 9 consecutive days off this year. During that time, China has a holiday known as Labor Day, which is typically a 3-day break.

  To get back on topic, the National Day holiday is a public holiday in China. This year, it’s expected to be about a week-long break starting from October 1. During this period, our factory in China will also be closed, meaning that even if Japanese companies are operating, our factory will not be.

  So naturally, what comes to mind during this time is lead time.

Recently, the lead time for electronic components used in adapters has been increasing (and it has become harder to move up the schedule), which in turn is extending the lead time for adapters themselves. Meeting our customers’ requested delivery dates is an important factor, so this is the time of year when coordination between customers and the factory is needed with the National Day week of holidays in mind.

  Information about the location of our China factory is available on our website. We would appreciate it if you could take a look to get an idea of where in China it is located.
