PartnerTech provides customer information regarding the situation in Japan

PartnerTech has today informed its customers that the crisis in Japan affects parts of the company's supply chain and therefore may cause disorders in the supply of certain products.

Today, it is very difficult to accurately assess the impact the crisis will have on the company's deliveries. About a dozen suppliers are directly affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and accidents. In the near term it is expected that these suppliers will have difficulties supplying components to PartnerTech, as well as to other companies in the market. The situation in the longer term is difficult to predict at this time.

PartnerTech's focus now is to as early as possible assessing where interference occurs, and take all possible measures to mitigate impacts.
