Impact of United States Tariff Measures
New tariffs imposed in 2025 on imported commercial tableware components and chemicals have raised procurement costs and compelled many providers to renegotiate supplier terms. This has led to a growing shift toward regional and domestic sourcing, strengthening supply chain resilience and encouraging investment in in-house fabrication capabilities. The resulting changes not only counter tariff effects but also align with a broader trend toward supply chain agility and localized partnerships.
