December 03, 2020 //By Nick Flaherty Magnetics component supplier Etal Group is looking to its new factory in Sri Lanka to help manage its supply chain after the UK fully leaves the EU. The Etal Group, headquartered at the Kamic Group HQ in Stockholm, says it is well-structured to protect customers from any impact in the supply of magnetics for power supplies and transformers. This due to the fact that it manufactures in and sources from not only the UK and Europe, but also Asia, with a recent expanded, purpose-designed 3,400m 2 factory opening in Piliyandala, Sri Lanka, it says. “We control our own operations within both the UK and EU, so we fully expect to be able to supply customers with the products they purchase from us post-Brexit,” said Dan Phelan, President of Etal Group. “In addition, our factories in Asia provide an alternative source of manufacturing, should issues arise in trade between the EU and Britain. Naturally, we cannot guarantee there won’t be any disruption in lead times from elements of the supply chain which are out of our hands, such as customs delays, however, in terms of supply chain, capacity and production, we do not foresee any problems.”
