Understanding the impact of tariffs on metal fabrication businesses
Update: 2025-03-28
Description
Tim Heston, Lance Thrailkill, Caleb Chamberlain, and Cody Lee discuss how the everchanging tariffs on imported metals have led to significant volatility and price increases, challenges for manufacturers, and domestic mills raising prices to match the tariffs rather than passing along the benefits.
They explore strategies for diversifying customer bases, improving operational efficiency, and leveraging technology to streamline sales and quality processes. The conversation highlights the importance of adaptability, value-added services, and forging strong partnerships with customers in the evolving manufacturing landscape.
