The semiconductor chip shortage has become a problem for almost every industry over the last 2 years. Whether your company falls under the oil and gas, computing, automotive, or aerospace industries, I am pretty sure you are already filling the pain of the ongoing chip shortage.
However, a company’s resilience is tested in such times, so you need to buckle up and keep moving no matter how tough the situation is. Getting into the open market is one of the ways companies are now using to source for some of the electronics components they are unable to get from their usual suppliers. However, navigating the open market is not something that most companies are used to.
That is why it is important to partner with independent distributors like Lantana.

In today’s article, I will take you through some of the ways we can help you navigate the chip shortage to ensure you get the right electronics components within the right time.
Quality assurance
Despite the chip shortage, it is important to ensure that all components you buy meet your minimum quality requirements. This can be challenging especially if you are dealing with suppliers in the open market. At Lantana we have a network of suppliers that always commit to meeting the quality standards of our partners for all the parts they supply.
