January was an unusually busy month for everyone at MKC.

Please take a look at some of our favorite products from January 2020 which have been manufactured in our Fareham,UK, factory. 

Polycarbonate Insulating Layers which may not be pretty,however, these FR rated formed covers protect some very expensive electronics. We produce these in the 1000’s on our platen press and they are used within the power management sector.

MembraneKeypad with various colour single point LEDs supplied fitted to a metal back plate. This is a prototype which will form the HMI of an in car control panel assembly.

PCB based MembraneKeyboard where the customer has used a 1.6mm thick FR4 PCB for both circuity and as a backplate with fitted LEDs, components and studs. This is a first pass sample which we hope will be moving to volume manufacture shortly.

As we are sure you are aware, China is on a state of high alert owing to the ongoing situation regarding Coronavirus.

The Chinese Government has put a number of measures in place in order to try to prevent the spread of the virus, which includes extending their New Year Holiday until 10th February 2010.

Thankfully our Far East partners are not reporting any cases of Coronavirus at the moment, however, there may be an impact on our ability to maintain supply depending on how matters progress in the coming days and weeks.

The majority of the parts we produce are manufactured in our Fareham factory where material stock levels remain good and we forsee no negative impact at this point in time.

We do however import complete products or component items from the Far East and will be contacting customers to advise of any possible delays to their orders or forecasted requirements.
