Update to Force Majeure Notification Multiblend Chemicals Limited (Multiblend)

Dear Channel Partner,

TE Connectivity (TE) would like to share an update in relation to the fire at Multiblend Chemicals Limited (Multiblend) which TE first communicated on August 16, 2021. TE wishes to inform you that there have been considerable resources allocated to this situation/raw material issue and as a company, we are evaluating multiple options to provide the most expedient return to normal operational performances. Key actions being explored, and next steps include:

  • The qualification samples that were due to complete week commencing November 11, 2021 have unfortunately not met the specification requirements
  • TE is in the process of investigating the root cause, estimated timeline due to the requalification work is now April 2022

 

Whilst TE is working to resolve this issue and mitigate any impact therefrom, TE must advise that the force majeure situation remains. As a reminder, the affected products are listed below, and are unchanged from the force majeure notification issued by TE on August 16, 2021. These products are Zerohal jacketed cables usually designed for marine or defense applications of the following types:
