The continuing shortage of microprocessors and electronic components has created enormous stress on the supply chain for electronic switches and components. Recent factory and port shutdowns in Asia have further interrupted the supply of materials used in these components. These factors outside Waytek’s control have caused some products to experience longer than expected lead times.

As a result, our suppliers’ shipments could fluctuate and larger customer orders could require additional time for fulfillment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may cause and are doing everything we can to stock and ship the parts you need.

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.

If you have any questions about your orders, please contact our Customer Service Team. General questions or specific component lead time inquiries should be directed to sales@waytekwire.com or 800-328-2724.

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.

Updated Lead Times

  • No Impact = standard lead time still applies
  • Minimal Impact = 1-2 weeks of additional lead time over standard
  • Moderate Impact = 3-5 weeks of additional lead time over standard
  • Major Impact = 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.

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.

  • No Impact = standard lead time still applies
  • Minimal Impact = 1-2 weeks of additional lead time over standard
  • Moderate Impact = 3-5 weeks of additional lead time over standard
  • Major Impact = 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.

Please contact sales@waytekwire.com or 800-328-2724 for specific component lead times.

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 

Waytek, Inc.

Shipping Update from FedEx

Today FedEx suspended their money back guarantee globally by issuing this statement.

As a result, we have made the decision to suspend our money-back guarantee for all FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight and FedEx Office services effective immediately until further notice. Because FedEx is an essential transportation service provider, we will continue operating as government restrictions and regulations allow.”

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:

  • Implementing CDC and Minnesota Department of Health recommendations
  • Practicing social distancing by requesting all employees stay at least 6 feet apart
  • Applying more stringent disinfecting procedures throughout our office and warehouse
  • Restricting all visitors to our facility
  • Limiting the number of employees operating onsite by moving our office staff offsite to work from home
  • All delivery drivers are required to wash their hands prior to entering the facility

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.

Charlie Kanan

CEO, Waytek, Inc.
