Chinese New Year

February is shaped by Chinese New Year (CNY), one of the most important holidays in the global manufacturing calendar. During this period, many factories close for 3–4 weeks, and production is paused entirely. Even after reopening, ramp-up times can affect capacity and extend lead times. By planning projects well ahead of CNY, you can secure production slots, avoid delays, and ensure smooth timelines and on-time deliveries for the rest of the year.

CNY 2026: Week 8–10, February 17 to March 3
CNY 2027: Week 5–6, February 6 to February 20
