WDC » Topics » Failure by certain suppliers to effectively and efficiently develop and manufacture components for our products may adversely affect our operations.These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008. Failure
by certain suppliers to effectively and efficiently develop and
manufacture components for our products may adversely affect our
operations.
We rely on suppliers for various component parts that we
integrate into our hard drives but do not manufacture ourselves,
such as semiconductors, motors, flex circuits and suspensions.
Some of these components must be specifically designed to be
compatible for use in our products, and are only available from
a limited number of suppliers with whom we are sole sourced for
certain products. We are therefore dependent on the suppliers of
these various components to be able and willing to dedicate
adequate engineering resources to develop technology that can be
successfully integrated with our products, and to manufacture
these components efficiently. The failure of component suppliers
to effectively and efficiently develop and manufacture
technology that can be integrated into our products may cause us
to experience inability or delay in our manufacturing and
shipment of hard drive products, or our expansion into new
technology and markets, therefore adversely affecting our
business and financial results.
