Axis contract manufacturer affected by fire

In connection with a factory fire at one of Axis’ contract manufacturers, Axis
advises that this can mean reduced availability for some time of a number of the
company's network video products.
“It is deeply regrettable that our partner SVI in Thailand has been affected by
this fire, while we are very relieved that no one has been seriously injured,”
says Ray Mauritsson, President of Axis Communications. “We have been cooperating
for many years and are well aware of SVI’s strength when it comes to rebuilding
and we work together with SVI to re-establish production effectively.”

“Today it is difficult to judge to what extent Axis and Axis' customers will be
affected. In the short term, there will be some but limited impact on sales. It
is harder to estimate how the availability of the products will impact sales
early 2015. In order to minimize the impact of the disruptions as a result of
the fire, we will temporarily arrange production to other SVI facilities and to
our other contract manufacturers. This work has already begun,” says Mauritsson.

Axis uses contract manufacturers in several different countries in order to
ensure efficient and flexible production.
