Across our industry, supply chains continue to experience changing global market conditions shift, including ongoing volatility in freight and energy-related products. We understand this can create challenges for customers, particularly around availability, lead times and cost.
At ETEL, our focus is on steady supply and clear, proactive communication. Based on current conditions, we are not planning any near‑term price increases. We continue to monitor global markets closely, and if our position changes, we will communicate early and directly so you have time to plan with confidence.
We have deliberately strengthened the resilience of our supply chain through a diversified supplier base, dual manufacturing capability and a proactive procurement approach. These measures are designed to reduce exposure to single points of failure and support more predictable lead times through periods of disruption.
For New Zealand customers, our oil regeneration capability provides additional security for selected product lines by reducing reliance on imported insulating oil. This gives us greater control over a critical input and helps ETEL keep the supply chain moving when international markets are under pressure.
We recognise the important role our customers play in supporting electricity networks, essential services and long‑term infrastructure investment. That responsibility underpins how we plan, invest and communicate.
If you would like to discuss your forward programme, please contact your usual ETEL representative or our sales team. We welcome early conversations to support smoother planning and delivery.
