Convergix Announces Tarriff Mitigation Plan
By: Frank Lazowski, VP, Global Supply Chain & Daniel Lyrek, Chief Commercial Officer at Convergix
With the recent news regarding tariffs affecting trade between Mexico, Canada, China, and the U.S., and the indication of tariffs being imposed on the U.S. by Canada and Mexico, we want to take a moment to share the steps Convergix is taking to minimize any potential impact on our customers.
As a global supplier with locations in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and India, Convergix has a sophisticated supply chain and an extensive supplier network that enables us to navigate these challenges effectively. Our global footprint allows us to serve customers worldwide while optimizing production locations to mitigate tariff-related disruptions.
Actions We Have Taken:
- Optimized Production Locations: We are in the process of proactively working with customers to ensure that orders and production occur in locations that minimize tariff exposure.
- Strategic Sourcing: Our supply chain team continuously monitors all quotes and proposals, sourcing materials as efficiently as possible to mitigate cost increases.
- Workforce Mobility: We have proactively invested in visas and work permits to enable employees with specific expertise to work across North America.
- Duty Drawback Preparedness: We are ready to implement duty drawback procedures if required to optimize cross-border trade costs.
We remain committed to closely monitoring the situation and adjusting our strategy as needed. Thank you for your continued trust in Convergix—we look forward to growing together.
