These discontinuations are driven by a combination of evolving market demands, reduced sales volume, and supplier constraints. Details of the affected items are outlined below.

‍

• Alternative Solutions: Where applicable, recommended alternative KI products have been identified to seamlessly meet your clients' specifications.
