Samtec Singapore has moved out of its home of more than 30 years to a new location. The new Singapore Distribution Hub will primarily support Asia Manufacturing and Samtec Reserve (read more about Samtec Reserve to the right). This relocation is significant as the floor area has increased from 10,000 ft² to 74,000 ft².
The move coincided with the Chinese New Year season, and the office celebrated by having a lion dance for the first time in Singapore! All Associates were thrilled and excited for this momentous occasion. Ed Messer (Samtec New Albany) also joined everyone on this special day to participate in the Chinese New Year “lohei” tradition.
What is Samtec Reserve?
Reserve allows customers to quickly and easily identify availability of over 200,000 (and quickly growing) of Samtec’s most popular connectors and cables - guaranteed to ship in 1-day. Look for the Reserve badge throughout samtec. com to quickly determine if the part number is eligible, along with current availability, quantity breaks and pricing. Hundreds of part numbers are being added daily!
Why is this important?
In Cantonese, “lohei” means “tossing up good fortune.” In Singapore, this ritual involves a group of people gathered around a large plate, tossing its contents high while saying auspicious phrases before eating it. It is believed that the higher the toss, the better the luck will be for the whole year.
The picture with the word “旺” means prosperous.
During the lion dance, the lucky lions will use the given mandarin oranges to create this word, wishing prosperity for the business and everyone for the year ahead.
Samtec Singapore wishes all of Samtec a year of good wealth in the future.
We live in a rapidly evolving world of convenience and same-day shipping. This is something that consumers love and have come to expect. And even though Samtec is mostly a B2B company, virtually everyone in this world is a consumer at home, and those consumers have gotten used to being able to have virtually anything they want shipped to them incredibly quickly.
