Components with Long Lead Times: Keep Your Production on Schedule
Long lead times can throw your entire production schedule into disarray. We don't restrict ourselves to official order channels that are often tied to overloaded production plans.
Weeks or even months of waiting for critical components means delayed deliveries to your customers and expensive downtime on your production lines. This is no longer limited to exotic specialty parts — in times of global shortages, even standard components are increasingly affected.
We use our market expertise and global network to identify immediately available sources — and cut the lead time for your urgently needed components dramatically.
How it works
Real-time market intelligence
By accessing information on available excess stock from other companies and unofficial inventory, we find components that are ready to ship immediately.
Strategic alternative sourcing
If the original component is unavailable, we identify qualified alternatives that are in stock right now and can be integrated without issues.
Optimised logistics
Our streamlined logistics processes ensure your order is dispatched without delay and arrives on time.
Your benefits
Immediately available sources
Excess and surplus stock instead of months of waiting for manufacturer lead times.
Planning certainty
You meet your deadlines and avoid costly catch-up overtime.
Certainty instead of waiting
We don't just deliver components — we deliver the assurance that your production continues.
From practice
Electrolytic Capacitors: 50-Week Lead Time Cut to 4 Weeks
An official manufacturer lead time of 50 weeks was jeopardizing project milestones. Via excess inventory, we delivered within 4 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the component — in practice we have cut waiting times from many weeks down to a few days or weeks. We will give you a concrete assessment after your enquiry.
