You would have to have been hiding under a rock for the past two years to not be aware of the global supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Component allocation continues to add challenges to the sourcing and engineering process of creating new electronic designs. Supply chain inefficiencies, rising freight and material costs are pressuring margins for all members of the electronics ecosystem in Canada. While component demand continues to accelerate, supply chain constraints and shortages are slowing production runs and causing backlogs.
