Amidst increasing uncertainty surrounding imports from China, Garnet confirms its dedication to supporting customers with reliable and concrete solutions.

The situation regarding the export of permanent magnets remains delicate: current Chinese regulations require the issuance of an Export License for certain categories of magnets.

Our Ningbo office, located in the heart of China’s manufacturing hub, has already completed the first step in the license approval process. We have received initial authorization from customs, and the documents are now under review by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce for final clearance.

Kanban: A Strategic Solution for Uninterrupted Supply

While waiting for further developments, we would like to highlight a proven and effective strategy: Kanban management of magnets.

Garnet offers its customers the opportunity to maintain a fixed inventory of magnets directly at our warehouse in Italy, tailored to their real production needs. This approach ensures immediate material availability and significantly reduces the risk of production stoppages due to delays or customs blocks.

Customers who have already implemented Kanban management with Garnet have not been impacted by current import delays. For them, Garnet maintains a stock sized to cover 4 to 6 months of production, continuously updated based on order trends and production forecasts.

Why Choose Kanban Management with Garnet

In an unstable geopolitical environment, supply chain reliability becomes a key factor in industrial planning. Kanban management allows you to:

  • Maintain a strategic stock already operational in Italy
  • Rely on guaranteed and predictable lead times
  • Minimize the impact of regulatory or logistical disruptions
  • Keep production running smoothly, even in the face of customs delays
  • Optimize material flow based on real-time needs

This method is ideal for motor manufacturers who cannot afford interruptions in their production cycles.
