Updated Lead Times - See Chart Below
NOTE: Lead times below are averages of all parts carried for that manufacturer. To see the lead time for a single part, look up the part on the Waytek website—each part includes future availability and lead time info.
- No Impact = standard lead time still applies
- Minimal Impact (green) = 1-2 weeks of additional lead time over standard. *Reduced lead times over the last 60 days
- Minimal Impact (yellow) = 1-2 weeks of additional lead time over standard, no changes over the last 60 days
- Moderate Impact (orange) = 3-5 weeks of additional lead time over standard,
- Major Impact (red)= Unknown, at least double the standard lead time
*Please note that standard lead times are averages of all parts carried for that manufacturer. Lead times for some components are longer than the average listed.

Lead Time Updates Due to COVID-19 Disruptions:
We want to thank our customers and key suppliers for your continued support during this unprecedented time. We are continuing to closely monitor the situation as it changes. Following is a brief update on our key suppliers’ progress.
The majority of our key suppliers are at 100% capacity in North America. As essential operations, key supplier manufacturing sites around the world are operational at, or near, normal capacity.
Waytek will continue to provide you with updates on our key suppliers’ operational status. Scroll down to see Updated Lead Times.

Rising Copper Prices Could Affect Electrical Components
Rising demand coupled with supply disruptions have led to copper price increases and volatility in the marketplace. Waytek is watching copper prices closely. Although you may see price increases based on the market, you can rest assured that when the market moves back down, our prices will follow accordingly.

Impact on Lead Times Due to COVID-19
Dear Waytek Customers,
Throughout this ever evolving COVID-19 Pandemic, we have been closely monitoring product delays from our manufacturers. We have also been diligently working to bring in additional inventory of impacted devices to meet our customers' ongoing needs.
Although we currently have plenty of inventory, it could become depleted due to interruptions in the supply chain as different countries impose stay at home orders, such as what we saw in China and are now seeing in Mexico.
Use the chart below to help you and decide if you need to order inventory to have on hand.
The chart rates the severity of impact on lead time delays by manufacturer.
Please note that standard lead times are averages of all parts carried for that manufacturer. Lead times for some components are longer than the average listed.

Preparing in Case of a Positive Test Result for COVID-19
Dear Waytek Customers,
Throughout the onset of the COVID-19 crisis we have been operating with three goals in mind: the health and safety of our employees and customers, doing our part to slow the spread of the disease, and being able to ship the products you need to keep your production going.
As the spread of the virus continues, and despite our best prevention efforts, we are preparing for the possibility one or more of our warehouse employees may test positive for the virus at some point. If this happens, performing a CDC approved deep cleaning of the affected areas in the warehouse may cause a delay in our ability to ship products. We commit to providing you with as much information as quickly as we can regarding any shipping delays and the steps we are taking to ensure a safe environment for our employees and customers.
Our recommendation during this time is to make sure you have some extra inventory on hand for your most frequently used and urgent items, in case you were to experience a slight delay in receiving product from Waytek.
Thank you for your continued business.
Charlie Kanan, CEO

Letter from the CEO
March 26th, 2020
Dear Valued Customer,
In an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19 and preserve public health and safety, on March 25th the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, issued an Emergency Executive Order directing Minnesotans to “stay at home” effective at midnight on Friday, March 27th through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 10th.
This order directs the closure of all non-essential businesses and exempts businesses deemed essential by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) or the list of critical businesses from the state of Minnesota. Because Waytek’s operations are “essential” under the applicable orders, as explained below, Waytek will continue to operate during the COVID-19 crisis to provide essential products to the medical, defense, transportation and logistics, food and agriculture, law enforcement, and public works sectors.
On March 19, 2020, CISA published its guidance titled: “Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19 Response” (“CISA Guidance”). The CISA Guidance identifies 16 separate essential critical sectors. Among those are Critical Manufacturing which includes: “Workers necessary for the manufacturing of materials and products needed for …and for supply chains associated with transportation, energy, communications, food and agriculture, …emergency services, and the defense industrial base. Additionally, workers needed to maintain the continuity of these manufacturing functions and associated supply chains.”
The State of Minnesota also published a list of NAICS code which identifies code 4238, Machinery, Equipment, and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, as an essential business.
As a stocking distributor with an NAICS code of 4238, Waytek is an essential part of the supply chain of the categories mentioned above, providing immediate access to essential products needed in the manufacturing process. As an essential business, Waytek will continue to operate unless circumstances change drastically.
We have taken the following precautions to limit the risk of exposure to our employees:
We appreciate your support during these unprecedented times and are committed to supporting you with the products you need to keep your business moving forward. Our focus throughout this crisis continues to be the safety of our employees, the safety of our customers, and supporting our customers with the products they need.
