Product Rationalisation Rationalization - Jack Plugs, Knobs, IEC Inlets, Slider Knobs
During the next 12 months, we plan to rationalise rationalize certain product lines made in the UK. These are generally lines which have been produced for 20 years or more. Recent costings of these products has shown that many are now non profitable. We will initially revise the costings to current costs. Certain products will increase significantly in price for deliveries from 1st October 2005. Our longer term aim is to stop UK production of non profitable or non competitive lines. Some lines may be transferred to our China factory. Customers who place scheduled orders will be notified about any products they buy, which are subject to the rationalisation rationalization. We can advise customers about items likely to be discontinued.
Please contact CLIFF sales for more information.
RoHS / WEEE
In order to confirm RoHS and WEEE status of our products, from 1st September 2005, our invoices, packing notes and order acknowledgments will indicate the RoSH and WEEE status of each product. Most of our products are already fully compliant. We aim to have only compliant products for sale by 31st December 2005.
