Fire Damage at Hanwei factory in Dalian China

CAS Hanwei regrets to advise that the Hanwei factory in Dalian sustained significant damage in a fire on March 6. The damage was limited to buildings, equipment and parts inventory and no personal injuries were involved. A full assessment of the damage and its effect on product supply is not yet available but plans are being made to resume production as soon as possible. CAS has a stock of most of the products in our current line but there is likely to be some disruption in the supply of some items, particularly newer products. We will be keeping our customers advised about possible shortages and delivery delays as more information is available.

We have just been notified by the forge that they were unable to recover the tooling on the popular Tiger and Kami Series as detailed below that was damaged in the massive fire.

They have notified us that they will continue to make these, but different fittings will be in their place. We do not know as of yet what the new fittings will look like, and we wanted to let you know ASAP that the quantities we have currently in stock are the very last of their kind. We are also uncertain as to when the new versions will be available, as no eta has been promised to us yet.   Per CAS Hanwei
