Hi all,

Time for a new update. This week we’ll briefly update you about the Production & Overseas trip, give you a shipping update as well as information about our latest listing on Amazon Japan and last but not least, we update you about the big Ockel news which is closing in on us fast.

Production & Overseas trip & shipping update

Our CEO Tim and Product Engineer Jan Paul are back in town and have had a successful trip overseas.

We have made great progress with the trial production of the new PCB’s and we expect to receive the first (trial) batch in the middle of next week. We will start with the SMT process at the end of next week. Our expectation is that we can start with the assembly of the first test units shortly after the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. As soon as the trial units are fully assembled we will proceed with the extensive tests which are necessary in order to guarantee the quality, performance, stability, durability and lifetime of the units. Obviously, we will keep you in the loop of the progress while we’re performing the steps as described.

Plenty of backers have received a tracking code last week. Good news for those who haven’t received a tracking code yet.. we will ship another small batch of Ockels later this week.

There is more: our expectation is that we have another small batch with Ockel Sirius A Pro’s available next week as well! More details about those units will be shared in the next update.

Ockel Sirius B Black Cherry now available on Amazon Japan

It has taken a while to prepare all aspects necessary for this huge step for Ockel, so we’re proud to tell you that the Ockel Sirius B Black Cherry is now available on Amazon Japan! As you all know, Japan is one of the biggest markets for Ockel devices and we can’t wait to step into this market with the Ockel Sirius B Black Cherry in cooperation with Amazon Japan.

We are working on something huge. Ockel was launched, powered and inspired by the crowd. Some of you were part of the Ockel backer community since day 1. And this time, you’ll have to chance to become part of Ockel Computers – yes, that’s correct.. part of the company Ockel Computers. We are proud to announce that we are going public soon!

If you want to be among the first the know all details, make sure you leave your e-mail address on this landing page. Obviously, we do things differently.. so expect exiting things in the near future regarding this project. We can’t wait to tell you more, so stay tuned!
