Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Disrupt Parts & Supply Orders

Important Information from Cobb Regarding Potential Inventory Disruptions Due to Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami

Cobb Technologies has received alerts from our manufacturing partners that due to the recent earthquake and tsunami which devastated Japan, a strong potential exists for inventory issues with supplies and parts for office technology equipment.

The natural disaster in Japan has disrupted electrical power, destroyed manufacturing plants, and temporarily halted shipping in to and out of much of Japan. This could impact Cobb Technologies’ ability to obtain certain equipment parts and supplies in the short term.

Cobb Technologies is working proactively to counteract the effects of these disruptions for our customers. We have ordered additional parts and supplies, where possible, to stock in our local warehouses here in Virginia. In addition, we are in constant contact with our manufacturing partners to monitor their ongoing progress in resuming Japanese manufacturing operations.

Cobb will keep you informed of further progress on this issue as the need arises. The Japanese government, people, and businesses are working frantically to rebuild their devastated country. Cobb Technologies expresses deep sorrow for the tremendous loss of life and devastation experienced by the Japanese people. Thank you for your continued support of Cobb Technologies and your good wishes for the people of Japan.
