Chinese New Year – forgot to plan and prepare?

Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, is a major cultural celebration in China that also significantly impacts PCB production. Remember the dates, and start to plan.

Remember to plan your PCB needs before Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year holiday in 2026, is from February 16th to February 22nd.
As always, planning, preparing and communicating improves the situation. Also keep in mind, that factories will run on limited capacity, due to reduced manpower, one week prior to and one week after the official holiday dates.  

To mitigate the impact of Chinese New Year on the PCB supply chain, we encourage our partners to plan, place orders in advance, prioritize your most crucial articles and communicate. Together with our trusted suppliers, we can plan for earlier production for crucial demands, source for alternate production and together we find the best options. 

One of the most noticeable effects of Chinese New Year on the PCB supply chain is the temporary closure or limitation in staffing at many factories in China. Workers take time off to celebrate the holiday with their families, resulting in a significant slowdown in production.  

As your Compliant Printed Circuit Partner, we will assist and make sure the holiday festivities and limitation in production capacity, causes minimal disruption in your PCB Supply Chain.  

We offer comprehensive support for your production planning needs.
Together, we can:
• Strategically prioritize orders for potential accelerated production.
• Adjust and reschedule other deliveries around the upcoming holiday period.
• Explore supply options tailored to your products. 

Our respectful and transparent relationship with our trusted supplying partners, is your insurance when external factors apply for the industry. 

2026 is The Year of the Horse.
The Horse represents energy, vitality, and determination. It embodies speed, strength, and a free spirit. Those born in the Year of the Horse are often seen as hardworking, passionate, and independent individuals who approach life with enthusiasm and perseverance.
