This surprise shortage in semiconductors has severely impacted the automotive industry. This chip shortage has disrupted supply chains and operations around the world, resulting in temporary plant closures and employee furloughs at the industry’s largest automakers. One of the major factors causing these shortages is the high demands for chips in other consumer markets. Please read the following links for more details:
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota, USA. 19 April 2018—Advantek, Inc., the world’s leading provider of precision component packaging systems, recently added an enhanced packaging reel to their advanced line of products. The new reel is economical and stronger than the previous generation—confidently designed to package and protect all types of components.
The newly released product is an improved 13-inch Trimline LOKREEL®. The reel is an enhanced version of Advantek’s previous Trimline reel—offering a variety of new features.
This new Trimline LOKREEL® balances strength and cost. It contains larger and stronger bridges—providing increased strength and solidity. The durability promises to protect every component it carries. In additional to strength, the new Trimline LOKREEL® comes at a more affordable cost compared to other reels in the company’s collection.
“The new 13-inch Trimline LOKREEL® is an exceptional choice when price is a key concern,” says Linger Lui, Manager of Product Development at Advantek. “It offers an excellent balance between structural integrity, lower weight, and lower cost.”
The new reel joins Advantek’s broad collection of reels designed to meet to their customer’s needs. It joins the company’s large offering of 7”, 13”, 15” and 22” packaging reels. Keeping a wide array of growing customers in mind, the company continues to research options that fit all kinds of packaging needs.
