The factory will close at noon today as a mark of respect for our dear colleague Ann who sadly passed away on 1st February.
Ann had been a part of the Dy-tech team for 10 years and will be greatly missed by all of us here.
Our thoughts today are with her son Alan and other close family and friends.

RIP

WE ARE HIRING.................

So as the sun almost sets on another summer we are apparently 100 days from Christmas and not many more until March 29th - Judgement Day !

Global Electronics is currently enjoying its most active period for more than a decade. Whilst orders continue to come in, procuring the requisite electronic parts is a challenge for smaller companies and one that is unlikely to improve over the next couple of years as manufacturers wrestle with investment in additional capacity.

We have recently added three new customers to our client portfolio with applications as diverse as oil and gas exploration, trackers for young driver insurance and food waste management.

Consequently we are again looking to add to our production team, so if you know of anyone who is punctual, reliable and hard-working and who might be interested in learning a valuable skill then please get in touch.

We can teach all of the necessary skills so no experience necessary but a love of Burnley Football Club might well be advantageous.........

As we close in on the Christmas shutdown Dy-tech, like many companies, generally experience an upturn in the order book as clients hedge their bets against a buoyant last quarter. This year has been no exception and with only 6 full working weeks left in 2017 the pressure is on manufacturing to deliver products both sides of the festive period.

For many companies, Christmas is the one time of the year that factories fully close giving everyone a well deserved break. Dy-tech is no exception and I always look forward to this time of year, diverting the phone and taking time out to spend with family and friends. It's equally important to me that our staff take the opportunity of a long break, many will be travelling abroad to visit family and friends and so the extended Christmas shutdown is often the only time of year they can in many cases travel home.

But before all of the merriment and mince pies, customer orders have to be fulfilled and this year the pressure is certainly on. I have reported in the past that an upturn in global manufacturing and particularly electronics has caused major upset in the supply chain. Lead-times for critical parts are moving further and further into the distance and so keeping on top of supplier orders becomes a full time job. Spurred on (apparently) by a massive surge in demand for environmentally friendly electric vehicles the automotive industry is hoovering up component inventory like never before. There appears to be no sign that this is a temporary spike and so semiconductor manufacturers, who mothballed wafer fab plants some years back, are now bringing them back on line to cope with demand. Long may that continue!

On the flip-side, the present lack of clarity over Brexit will surely come into focus next year as we close in on that March 2019 leaving date. Whether a soft or hard Brexit, changes to UK manufacturing and many other sectors and on their way. All we can do is be vigilant, keep customer focused and quality oriented and then hopefully, as the saying goes, the business will take care of itself.

Wishing you all a very festive few weeks ahead.

Oh, to be in England, now that summer’s here…………

And that was indeed the case when I originally sat down to compose this latest post. Well, as things turned out, by the time I got around to finishing the article, summer is almost behind us and autumn is on the way.
July and August are typically the months when companies in the UK down tools and take their long anticipated annual vacation and you would be forgiven for thinking that it’s a relaxing time for us manufacturer’s who can take advantage of a perceived lull in proceedings. Not so! Historically purchasing managers are looking to clear their desks prior to their own summer break and busy themselves placing orders so that product is ready for delivery on their return in September.
A good business health indicator is what is known as the “book-to-bill” ratio. Effectively this is the value of new order intake in any one month as a ratio of the value of sales invoiced in that same month. A positive number is generally a healthy sign that business is growing in the weeks ahead. Pleasingly for Dy-tech there has been no significant change this year, despite the uncertainty over the UK’s departure from the EU. Order intake ratio in June and July was 1.2 over billings and so August, September and October are going to be busy months for us.
Going forward the strong Euro and Dollar continue to weigh on material purchase costs but like so many companies up and down the UK we have to take the rough with the smooth and have mitigated much of this additional expense with improvements in productivity and improved stock turn rates.
In that same period three new companies chose Dy-tech as their manufacturing partner for some exciting new projects and whilst it’s always nice to have reliable income from existing clients, new customers are equally welcome and inject new blood into a successful growing business.
So with a heavy heart we say goodbye to another English summer and hello to autumn. Which reminds me, X-Factor will be back on our TV’s this weekend so ready the tinsel and untangle the fairy lights because Christmas is almost upon us……….

Managing Director Andrew Dymond shares his thoughts on Brexit and how it is, or isn't, affecting business a year after the British people voted to leave.

The 23rd June marks one year since the referendum on our future membership of the EU and the historic decision taken by the British people to leave. It also happens to be my 54th birthday and will …

The spectre of electronic component allocation looms large. Effectively demand is now outstripping supply on passive, discreet and semiconductor product.

Whilst generally this can be taken as a good sign that global electronics manufacturing is in a growth cycle, failure to factor in sufficient lead-times for procurement and assembly can be costly in terms of on-time delivery performance.

At Dy-tech we are working with all our suppliers and distributors to mitigate material supply problems. Contact us via the website or F/B to discuss any requirements you might have.
