Strategic Steps to Ensure Reliable Solutions Amid Changing Conditions

As we kick off this year, we’re excited to share the latest developments, insights, and strategies shaping our approach to supply chain management. 

Our first quarterly supply chain update of 2025 provides an overview of the many ways MCC helps customers gain an edge in a rapidly shifting market:  

Adapting to Change in a Dynamic Market

We know customer success depends on speed and efficiency, so we proactively streamline our processes, encouraging customers to share forecasts and place orders earlier. This way, we can optimize production planning, ensure on-time deliveries, and maintain smooth operations across the board. 

Expanding in Big Ways: New Production Facility in Vietnam

We’re thrilled to announce that our new factory in Vietnam officially began operations on December 12, 2024. MCC's new facility is a significant step forward in our China Plus One strategy, designed to diversify our manufacturing footprint while strengthening our presence in the region.

With this expansion, we’re not only increasing our production capacity — we’re also boosting our ability to adapt quickly to market demands. This strategic move enhances operational flexibility while reinforcing our commitment to supporting customers with reliable, responsive solutions.

Tackling Rising Raw Material Costs

Like many industries, we’re navigating rising raw material costs, driven in part by the growing demand for semiconductors. At MCC, we recognize the challenges this presents for customers and remain focused on managing these costs effectively.

Our supply chain team works closely with suppliers to keep costs under control, helping us maintain competitive pricing without compromising the reliability of our supply. This approach — along with our integrated device manufacturer model — ensures our customers continue to receive high-quality components at fair prices.

The following graphs show the changes in average monthly prices of essential raw materials over the last few months:

Being a step ahead is essential in today’s competitive market. So we deliver shorter lead times and competitive pricing powered by dedication to exceptional service and responsiveness. These qualities have earned us the trust of some of the world’s biggest brands, and we remain committed to upholding this reputation as the industry evolves.
