What has happened to Schneider fused-switches?

I was looking for the likes of the SQB1603K and see it is out of stock at CEF and no delivery option available. Odd. Then I search for the part on the Schneider web site and it has gone, other than a couple of FAQ. I has a chat person and get this somewhat weasel-worded explanation:

Unfortunately due to supply chain challenges we are unable to support order intake on our Fusegear Offers. We are working closely with our supply chain to resolve the issue but currently we are unable to provide timescales on back to normal. We will be in a position to further update you on the situation.

To me it sounds like they have closed/out-sourced production and its gone Pete Tong, but the lack of info points to this maybe being the end of the line.

TL;DR does anyone know what is actually happening?

It'll be like a lot of other products, component parts or complete assemblies will be bobbing up and down in a ship going around the Cape of Good Hope (or at the moment, No hope) Africa or stuck at the Chinese docks waiting for a ship to return several weeks later than scheduled.

Still, if it you just had stuff clogged up in transit why remove all reference to it from your web site?

Wooooah, you're probably right but easy on the South Africa jokes there partner
