The global uncertainty due to events in recent weeks, compounded due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has resulted in unprecedent challenges relating to commodity prices (Nickel in particular), wage and general inflation and a 40% increase in freight costs. Bulgin is unable to absorb these increases, nor delay in passing them through. As a result, Bulgin has no alternative but to trigger a “force majeure” event with a price increase of 4.7%.
We would like to inform you about upcoming price adjustments for all networking and connectivity products from the Hirschmann, Tofino, GarrettCom and Lumberg brands. For Networking products, the prices will be increased in average by 6.9%, and for Connectivity products in average by 6.4%. The new prices will apply to all orders placed on or after May 1st, 2022. All orders placed at current prices before May 1st, 2022 with a requested shipping date after November 1, 2022 will be subject to price review and, if necessary, price correction.
With an increasing demand for automated machines and systems, secure and reliable connections are vital for industrial automation applications where efficiency and uptime is of the utmost importance. Bulgin waterproof circular connectors are a perfect solution for automation systems such as factory automation, industrial networks and robotics.
Due to our ongoing product improvement and reliability program, it is now proposed to up issue FX0462 in line with this. These changes include a change of o-ring as detailed below. Up issuing the current part number and not creating a new part number means that this will also eliminate the requirement for our customers to update their approval files and associated costs.
GarrettCom has issued formal notice that the GarrettCom’s Magnum 6K8 family of managed switches will be discontinued and entering into long-term product support. The affected products contain components which have become obsolete.
