As a retailer and distributor of electromechanical components in the B2B segment, we have been reliably supplying the electronics industry for many years.

Background

In August 2012, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published its final rules on conflict minerals (known as “3TG” – tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold) to improve responsibility and transparency of origin.

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires manufacturing companies to accurately document the use of minerals sourced in the war regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo or its neighbouring states.

As a result, affected companies in the manufacturing industry are focusing on whether and to what extent their products contain conflict minerals or whether they are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the neighbouring states named in the law. SEC’s requirements are passed through the entire supply chain.
