Extended lead times due to global supply shortage

March 2022

We have been made aware of a continuing labour strike at a key paper mill in Finland that is having an adverse effect on the availability of certain synthetic label materials. Our suppliers are indicating extended lead times in excess of three months and in some cases, they have been unable to confirm an expected delivery date.

Sciamed is doing everything possible to minimise the impact of this situation to our customers, but we would ask you to check your label stocks and please re-order in plenty of time to allow for an extended delivery date.

Our staff are monitoring the situation closely and we will be in contact to let you know if the label material you purchase is affected

If you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of the team, please call 01975 564111 or email sales@sciamed.co.uk

For more information, call 01975 564111
