What is this? Why?
We at KALLER have always prided ourselves in developing innovative and creative solutions for our customers- with these innovations, new and improved models make others obsolete.
These obsolete models have been continuously added to the KALLER assortment over the years, yet many of them are currently not being sold- gathering dust in our storage warehouses and slowing down production and other processes that ultimately affect our efficiency with our customers.
We have therefore elected to ‘clean up our closet’ with these slow-moving products.
The KALLER gas springs will be re-categorized [in order to provide clarity of which products will have the fastest production times] (learn more about the categories below).
These categorical changes will provide customers with a clear understanding of which KALLER gas springs will be most practical to purchase [in terms of best pricing and delivery times].
How does this impact you?
In short, this will likely not have an impact on the majority of our customers.
[All our products will still be able to order, though our “slow-moving” products may require a minimum order quantity (MOQ) and potentially longer delivery times. (See categories below)]
What are the new gas spring categories?
In short, this will likely not have an impact on the majority of our customers.
[All our products will still be able to order, though our “slow-moving” products may require a minimum order quantity (MOQ).]
To improve and maximize our [delivery and efficiency] as well as be more transparent with our customers, we are putting the KALLER gas springs into two categories:
Made to Stock (MTS):
[Explanation of MTS] [Our Made to Stock gas springs and components are our most popular springs that will readily stocked for fast deliveries.]
Made to Order (MTO):
[Explanation of MTO+ MOQ] [Our Made to Order springs are our least popular springs that are not often ordered. These are segmented into two MTO sub-categories:
Made to Order Custom:
- Non-stocked spring or components
- Manufactured & Assembled to Order (ATO)
- [Longer Delivery] (set by manufacturing or sourcing lead-time)
Made to Order + Minimum Order Quantity:
- Non-stocked spring or components
- Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
- [Longer Lead time] (set by manufacturing or sourcing lead-time)

Are there changes on how to order gas springs?
No. KALLER gas springs are available as they currently are, both through direct sales and through our authorized distributor partners.
In the unlikely event that KALLER gas spring you typically ordered are converted to a [MTO] status, these gas springs are still available- although, lead times and prices may change.
