The Covid-19 situation is getting better all around the world, but the city of Shenzhen in the south of China has been placed under new restrictions because of a jump of new cases for at least one week. ICAPE Group has announced that as some of their partner factories are located in Shenzhen, the PCB and Technical Parts production could be delayed for one week or more, depending on the evolution of the situation.

China has placed 17.5 million residents of the city of Shenzhen into lockdown, for at least one week, to prevent the growth of positive cases of Covid-19 over the last few weeks. All public transportation and businesses have been closed, including ICAPE’s production plants, located in the city. Unfortunately, supply chain of some the customers will be affected.

ICAPE Group can rely on a strategic network of partner factories, in Asia, in the Americas, and in South Africa to prevent important disruption.

Of 80 factories in ICAPE’s network, 11 factories are impacted. Their sourcing, purchasing and logistics departments are constantly monitoring the situation from the headquarters in China, to anticipate and offer the best solutions for customers. ICAPE’s teams remain available at any time to inform their customers and provide them with strategic solutions, according to the situation.
