At present, we do not anticipate any near term disruption to our ability to support customers. Current orders are largely covered by existing stock, and most components are sourced through stable US and UK/EU distribution channels.  While some freight routes are experiencing rerouting, longer transit times and temporary surcharges, there are currently no blocked or at-risk shipments affecting our supply chain.  Alongside the logistics picture, we are also monitoring the broader geopolitical environment. Recent events have introduced uncertainty, whilst changes in global security dynamics can influence how major economies behave in the short and medium term.  While there is no immediate threat to our supply chain, we remain attentive to how wider geopolitical developments could affect global manufacturing and semiconductor markets over time.  As part of our approach to supply chain resilience, we continue to encourage customers to maintain appropriate buffer stock to protect against unforeseen disruptions. We can provide specific assessment and services to help with this.  Our supply chain team remains in close contact with key partners and we will continue to monitor developments closely, updating customers promptly should anything change that could affect lead times or availability. Please contact your account manager or customer service representative for further information about existing orders, or to [discuss future orders here.](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/contact) [![](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%201.jpg?width=357&height=357&name=Blog%201.jpg)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q3-2026) ##### [Supply Chain News from Garner Osborne Circuits (Q3 2026)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q3-2026) [Read more](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q3-2026) [![](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%201.jpg?width=357&height=357&name=Blog%201.jpg)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q2-2026) ##### [Supply Chain News from Garner Osborne Circuits (Q2 2026)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q2-2026) [Read more](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/supply-chain-news-from-garner-osborne-circuits-q2-2026) [![UK PCB Manufacturer Garner Osborne](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Garner%20Osborne%20-%20PCB%20Manufacturing%201.png?width=357&height=357&name=Garner%20Osborne%20-%20PCB%20Manufacturing%201.png)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/why-garner-osborne-are-proud-supporters-of-uk-manufacturing) ##### [Why Garner Osborne Are Proud Supporters of UK Manufacturing](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/why-garner-osborne-are-proud-supporters-of-uk-manufacturing) [Read more](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/why-garner-osborne-are-proud-supporters-of-uk-manufacturing) [![Increased Board Size Capabilities](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20images/Expanding%20Opportunities%20through%20Increased%20Board%20Size%20Capabilities%20-%20357x357.jpg?width=357&height=357&name=Expanding%20Opportunities%20through%20Increased%20Board%20Size%20Capabilities%20-%20357x357.jpg)](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/expanding-opportunities-through-increased-board-size-capabilities) ##### [Expanding Opportunities through Increased Board Size Capabilities](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/expanding-opportunities-through-increased-board-size-capabilities) [Read more](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/insights/expanding-opportunities-through-increased-board-size-capabilities) ![MicrosoftTeams-image9289e4941c31e2b6a85d95ed6d7b37830d19a68eb6ecec5ddeb354327a4e67d1](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/MicrosoftTeams-image9289e4941c31e2b6a85d95ed6d7b37830d19a68eb6ecec5ddeb354327a4e67d1.png?width=833&height=575&name=MicrosoftTeams-image9289e4941c31e2b6a85d95ed6d7b37830d19a68eb6ecec5ddeb354327a4e67d1.png) #### Arrange your visit ## Visit our UK facilities and meet your PCB production partners Email:  [sales@garnerosborne.co.uk](mailto:sales@garnerosborne.co.uk) Phone:  [01635 582 626](tel:01635%20582%20626) Garner Osborne Unit 10, Hambridge Business Centre Hambridge Lane, Newbury Berkshire RG14 5TU ![Contact](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/hubfs/Garner%20Osborne%20Theme%202023/Global/Contact.png) ## Start working with a UK team that’s driven by quality, not just quantity #### Visit our UK facilities and meet your PCB production partners.
