TDK-EPC (magnetic group of TDK Corporation) has announced the intention to discontinue the manufacture of all bobbins and mounting hardware currently being supplied by MH&W International Corp.
MH&W will accept orders for the bobbins and mounting hardware as a last time buy. All orders must be submitted to MH&W no later than June 10, 2010.
Delivery of product based on the last time buy must be completed within 10 months. Therefore all bobbins and mounting hardware must be shipped from MH&W by April 10, 2011. All last time buy orders are non-cancellable, non-returnable and cannot be pushed out beyond April 10, 2011.
MH&W International will be sourcing equivalent bobbins and mounting hardware from alternate sources where there is an existing equivalent product. We have already identified many items that are functionally the same. If an equivalent cannot be readily found, MH&W will investigate tooling the items in order to continue a smooth flow of equivalent product.
The complete list of discontinued parts can be found at http://www.mhw-intl.com/tdk_xbobbins.htm. This list will be updated in an ongoing manner as new and alternative parts are identified.
TDK-EPC Corporation was established in Japan on October 1, 2009, as a result of carving out one of the core business activities of TDK Corporation, namely the passive electronic components business. This sector of the market is undergoing drastic changes, and the ability to respond speedily to customer demands is crucial to our success. The aim in forming the new structure is to further strengthen our market position and thereby contribute to the growth of the TDK Group. TDK Corporation will be the sole shareholder of TDK-EPC Corporation. TDK-EPC was incorporated as a technology, manufacturing, marketing and sales company active in the electronic components, modules and systems business. The major German electronic components manufacturer EPCOS AG and its subsidiaries (subsequently referred to as EPCOS) have been brought aboard and will provide a significant boost in competitiveness, both in terms of product range as well as in market presence. While constantly assessing the changing needs of the industry, we will be able to provide technology, products, and comprehensive solutions of outstanding value. Relying on a worldwide R&D, manufacturing and sales network, TDK-EPC Corporation is expected to act as a growth engine for the entire TDK Group. The new company is poised to assume the role of global leader in the field of electronic components, modules and systems.
Upon the foundation of TDK-EPC Corporation, the following corporate logo mark has been established.
