All GCT’s production facilities are now open.
GCT is continuing our endeavours to bring reopened production facilities back up to full production, and although this is a slow process, we have seen ongoing progress in these efforts on a daily basis.
The necessary controls on movement of people are continuing to impact upon the availability of personnel to operate the reopened facilities.
Additionally, we continue to await advice from a number of our materials and sub-components suppliers regarding the timescales for availability of these.
We have also seen some delays in international customs as flow-of-goods begins to increase.
However, we are gradually moving to a position where we can provide firm delivery dates for all existing orders and new orders, although new orders will see extended lead-times, at least for the next two months.
GCT strives to continue supporting you and will do everything possible to minimize negative impact. In the meantime, GCT will continue to pro-actively analyse all open orders to understand which order lines have the potential for continued impact.
With regards to our Customer Services and Sales Offices in Europe, USA and Asia, GCT has taken measures to ensure that they are resilient to the likely challenges ahead, so they can continue to provide first-class customer and sales support irrespective of any governmental lockdowns or other measures.
Regional warehousing and logistics in UK and USA will also provide an uninterrupted service, unless prohibited from doing so by law.
This is a fast-evolving situation which GCT’s Management Team are reviewing on a daily basis and will provide regular updates on this page regarding the status of our production facilities.
