Why our Chip Storage?
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many OEMs, EMS providers, and CMs faced unprecedented supply chain disruptions. These shortages drove up costs and delays at an unprecedented rate. Today, much of this excess inventory is subjected to improper ESD handling and extended exposure to environmental conditions. These adverse conditions can lead to component failures, threatening production timelines. Our C-MRO program addresses these challenges head-on by mitigating risks such as obsolete inventory, degradation, and insufficient storage, ensuring your components remain secure, reliable, and ready for use.
