2026 MAJOR ASIAN HOLIDAY MANUFACTURING SCHEDULE

We have updated our major Asian holiday's tip sheet schedule to include 2026 dates.

To better help you prepare, and to keep these dates top of mind, we have created this PDF document with all the major Asian holidays for you to print and share with your colleagues.

Holidays Include:

• Chinese New Year (aka Spring Festival)
• QingMing Festival (aka Tomb Sweeping Day)
• May Day
• Dragon Boat Festival
• Mid-Autumn Day
• National Day (aka Golden Week)

The challenges that surround a shutdown like the Chinese New Year are more than just a window without communication. There is no way to avoid the holidays. The only thing you can do is plan for them. At Epec, in preparation for the CNY, we start our production planning about 120 days before the start of the holiday.
