LYNX Technik Announces Major Progress Towards Sustainable Supply Chain
August 07, 2023 – Weiterstadt, Germany – LYNX Technik is pleased to announce that its action plan to optimize product supply and address supply-chain concerns is on track. The strategic changes will strengthen the company’s position to better serve its customers and global dealer network while continuing its mission to deliver high-quality, purpose-built solutions.
Recent global supply chain concerns resulted in excessive lead times and unplanned component obsolescence which has been very challenging for many manufacturers in the Broadcast and AV industries. This has caused shortages in product availability and long lead times. In the short- term, we were able to address these issues by obtaining key components from brokers, often at greatly inflated prices. We invested heavily in component inventory to ensure an uninterrupted supply of products wherever possible. However, this was only a short-term solution, and some key components are simply not available anymore. This resulted in us having to temporarily remove several yellobrik and Series 5000 products from our portfolio while we redesign to use alternative components which are readily available.
We anticipate being able to reintroduce these products back to the market before the end of this year / early next year. If you have queries about product availability, please reach out to your LYNX Technik sales contact or dealer/representative at https://www.lynx-technik.com/support/contact-headquarters/ or https://www.lynx-technik.com/where-to-buy/
We will be exhibiting at IBC 2023 on stand 10.A10. Please feel free to book an appointment at: https://www.lynx-technik.com/company/contact-us/ or just stop by if you’re attending the show.
