The Chinese National day and Mid-autumn festival are getting closer. The National day holiday takes place October 1st – October 8th, and the Mid-autumn festival is October 6th. As these are national holidays it affects all production in China and Taiwan. We are preparing action plans together with our factories to find different ways of working around disruptions.
All our efforts are always focused on your production, and our Factory Management team will be manned during the holiday. But despite all the precautions we are taking, it could be good to think ahead to avoid disruption in your production. We have made a list of a number of proactive measures to think about.
Prepare before the holiday
- Together with NCAB Group, plan your production before the holiday. We can look at what is due directly after the holiday (i.e. the first few days) and pull it forward so that it ships before.
- Prioritize your most critical products
- NCAB will use optional factories whenever applicable for QTA
- Buffer stock managed by NCAB
National day & Mid-autumn festival
China’s National Day, also called Golden Week, is the celebration of the founding of People´s Republic of China. It is celebrated with various ceremonies, parades and other activities. The holiday connected to the National day is a week long, and that’s why it is also called the Golden Week.
The Mid-Autumn festival is one of the main Chinese festivals and has a long history. An important part of the festival celebration is moon worship and mooncakes, a traditionally rich pastry that is typically filled with sweet-bean or lotus-seed paste, are eaten during this festival. The Mid-Autumn festival‘s moon represents people’s family reunion, and expresses the feeling of missing loved ones and their hometown, praying for a bumper harvest and future happiness. It has become a rich, colorful and valuable cultural heritage.
