Lifeloc Technologies Inc's Comment on Supply Chain
The company sources fuel cells, a key component of its instrument product line, from a limited number of suppliers. Demand for these fuel cells is small relative to total supply, and materials and services for production are currently sufficient. However, there are few suppliers of the high-quality fuel cells required for the company's breathalyzers, making any sudden supply disruption a significant risk. New fuel cell sources are uncertain and require Department of Transportation (DOT) approval. Historically, the company relied on a single supplier but developed its own fuel cell assembly capability in 2018 using purchased sensors. These Lifeloc-assembled fuel cells have received DOT approval. The company continues to purchase some fuel cells from its existing supplier to meet demand. Supply chain disruptions in 2023 and 2024 prompted the company to maintain larger inventories, particularly for internationally sourced components, a policy that continued in 2025 with reduced overall stocking of certain items.
