Update Force Majeure TE: Notification Regarding Resin Suppliers
Dear Channel Partner,
Further to the force majeure notification issued to you on March 4, 2021, TE Connectivity (TE)'s supply chain and operations continue to be significantly impacted by the global resin shortage. TE has received additional force majeure notice letters from resin suppliers and expect to continue receiving such letters.
As a result of this situation that is beyond our reasonable control, a negative impact on our ability to supply is inevitable and consequently your company will be experiencing and/or continue to experience increases in quoted lead times, longer shipment times and/or rescheduled orders for the affected products.
TE must respectfully advise that these circumstances (i) render TE's performance practically and/or commercially impossible, and (ii) constitute a force majeure event under all applicable agreements between TE and its customers and their respective affiliates. As such, TE will not accept responsibility (including the responsibility for financial costs) for any resulting line-down or other supply chain related charges.
Although TE can't control every factor influencing our ability to maintain normal production levels and logistics around the world, our teams are working hard to mitigate the impact to your business, and we will continue to provide, to the extent reasonably possible, up-to-date product lead times and order confirmation schedules via our ecommerce system.
At TE, we believe that EVERY CONNECTION COUNTS and appreciate your continued partnership. We understand that fluctuations in your supply can create challenges for your operations. As such, we remain committed to delivering the highest quality customer service experience possible. TE will continue to carefully monitor the supply chain situation and provide updates as the situation evolves.
If you have further questions regarding your specific order, please contact your regionally assigned TE sales representative or Solution Center team.
Regards,
Sean Miller
VP of Global Sales
