The Tariff Effect
In today’s ever-changing manufacturing landscape, recent developments in U.S. steel tariffs are making headlines and raising questions about how they will impact industries across the country. As a family-owned manufacturing business with deep roots in American-made quality, we understand these concerns firsthand.
The newly reinstated 25% tariff on steel imports is aimed at protecting the domestic steel industry. While the long-term effects remain to be seen, one thing is certain: these tariffs will affect the cost of raw materials, and for manufacturers like us—who rely on high-quality steel—there is no way to avoid the ripple effects.
Made in the USA—Yesterday, Today, and Always
While some companies have turned to imported steel or outsource production to cut costs, we’ve always taken a different path, making domestically manufactured material and processing a top priority. We’ve built our reputation on providing durable, precision-engineered products that stand the test of time—whether it’s large-diameter threaded rods for water control systems or other critical components our customers depend on.
This commitment to American manufacturing isn’t just about pride—it’s about ensuring the highest level of quality, reliability, and consistency. Every part we produce is backed by the hard work and dedication of our team, and these tariffs won’t change that.
Facing Challenges Head-On
There’s no denying that increased steel costs could impact pricing across the industry. As raw materials become more expensive, manufacturers everywhere will have to adapt. But while some may look for shortcuts, we remain committed to doing things the right way—for our employees, our customers, and the future of American manufacturing.
We believe that investing in our people is just as important as investing in our processes. The team behind every machine, every product, and every shipment is what makes our company strong. We’re proud to support American workers and to contribute to the communities where we live and work.
A Solid Foundation for the Future
We’re fortunate to have a loyal customer base that has stood by us through industry shifts, economic changes, and technological advances. Your trust means everything to us, and we don’t take it for granted. With your continued support, we believe these tariffs—while challenging—could ultimately strengthen the domestic manufacturing industry and reinforce the value of American-made products.
We’re not just here to weather the storm—we’re here to thrive. Our dedication to quality, our people, and our customers will never waver. Together, we’ll continue to build a stronger future, one American-made part at a time.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re proud to manufacture in the USA, and we’re here for the long haul.
