Chinese New Year – plan, place and prioritise!

Plan, place and prioritise – the three P´s you need to remember when Chinese New Year is approaching.

Chinese New Year, its time to plan.

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is one of the most significant cultural celebrations in China. This festive period, filled with family reunions and traditional customs, has a substantial impact on various industries, including the PCB production.  

The Chinese New Year holiday in 2025, is from January 28h to February 4th.
As always, planning, preparing and communicating improves the situation.
To mitigate the impact of Chinese New Year on the PCB supply chain, we encourage our partners to plan, place orders in advance, prioritise your most crucial articles and communicate. Together with our trusted suppliers, we source the best options, solutions for alternate production or earlier production for crucial demands. 

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 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 can provide comprehensive support for your production planning needs, including exploring supply options for your products, strategising to prioritise orders for potential accelerated production, and rescheduling others, until after the celebratory vacation. 

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

2025 is The Year of the Wood Snake, in the Chinese Zodiac the Snake is linked to metamorphosis, wisdom and intuition. The Snake year is characterised by introspection, mystery, and intelligence. 

People born in the Year of the Wood Snake are thought to have a high level of wisdom and philosophical knowledge. 

If you have any questions or want us to assist you on the planning of your PCB production, feel free to reach out – we are here to help.
