Hello everyone!
With a bit of a delay (and yes, even the production update is delayed… 😅), here is the October production point! Between two trips to China and the latest news from the factories after the Golden Week, discover below the latest updates on our productions.
Although the pace has improved significantly since the last production update and the plants are operating at full capacity, some productions are still experiencing slowdowns and will experience a slight delay compared to previous forecasts. However, we are progressing simultaneously on many parts and plan to deliver in large quantities by the end of the year.
Since the June production update, we have received 22 containers, and 8 more are currently in transit. We expect to ship about 20 more containers by the end of the year. Despite the reduction in the time between booking and loading of maritime transports, the transit time remains long, as ships are still forced to avoid the Suez Canal. To compensate, we alternate between maritime and faster rail transport.
At Tsume, as at our logistics provider, the teams have been strengthened in order to manage this end of year which promises to be intense in terms of receptions and shipments!
Without further ado, find below the point by license and reference, as well as a detailed calendar at the end of the article.
Please note that we have indicated the end of delivery of some references in the 2nd quarter of 2025. Although they are planned for the 1st quarter, we preferred to add a quarter in case of delay of the containers due to Chinese New Year.
