We will be working with our valued customers as available stock sells through to find a suitable alternative to ensure minimal disruptions.
The MI Product team are also working to find a suitable quality alternative brand to fill the void left by this factory closure. There are many challenges such as the increasing cost of lithium, increasing freight & logistical costs and lower volumes for spiral wound products compared to Bobbin style product. Stay tuned for developments in this space.
If you have any questions, please contact out friendly sales team.
