Since the start of the war in the Middle East, we have been receiving an increasing number of enquiries regarding potential impacts on delivery times, availability and prices. Please find our current assessment below. Should you have any further questions, our contact persons will be happy to assist you.
No, our direct supply chains and transport routes are not affected. As we source our raw materials from Europe, we are largely unaffected by supply chain disruptions in the Middle East.
The risk is low for several reasons: we manufacture our goods using our own products (high degree of vertical integration/value-added depth), which makes us largely independent of external suppliers. Furthermore, we continuously ensure the supply of critical parts through dynamic inventory management. In addition, specific stockpiling measures are coordinated with our suppliers to prevent bottlenecks proactively. However, should the crisis persist for a long time, a reduced supply of petroleum-based intermediate products (SMC semi-finished products) cannot be entirely ruled out.
Yes – the global price rises will also affect ELSTA. However, we are actively working to minimise the impact on our customers and will only pass on adjustments that are absolutely necessary. We will, of course, keep you informed of this in a timely and transparent manner.
In close consultation with our suppliers, we are conducting a detailed assessment of the affected components and taking specific measures as a result – including increasing stock levels beyond the usual amount.
If you are already planning orders, it is best to contact us as early as possible. Your contact person will then be happy to check the specific order details for you!
