Why Stockpiling TFT displays is better than money in the bank.
The best time to build up your stockpile of TFT LCD inventory is four months ago, the next best time is now. – focuslcds.com
The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, the next best time is now. – Chinese Proverb
This might come as a surprise to many, but the majority of TFT (Thin Film Transistor) displays are manufactured in China. So, when China has a holiday or other shut down, your production line suffers.
Many times, the delay is longer than the period of time the factories were closed. This is especially true with the dreaded Chinese New Year. They are shut-down for two weeks, but delays can last more than a month due to the slow return of workers and all the backlog they need to work through.
Another delay for US/Canada based manufacturing will take place in September for the BRICS conference. This shut down is from 1 September to 6 September.
So, what is the solution? Pull money out of the bank and invest it in LCD inventory. It makes no sense to have your cash in the bank earning .01% interest when you can invest it for future production.
That is why we pulled our money out and purchased inventory on all our TFT‘s (including Resistive and Capacitive touch). Now when you need a sample or your production ramps up. We have you covered.
LCDs made simple ® means we have samples in your hands the next day. If you have questions about increasing the size of your stockpile of TFTs, contact us today!
Oh . . . . It’s also a good idea to pull money out of the bank to stock up on coffee.
