Trump tariffs have woken mid-size companies up to the reality of multipolar trade channels. What worked in 2015, won't work in 2025. Regardless of price, having a strong, reliable production backup in a different country is no longer a luxury. It's a necessity. I have over 28 years of Global Trade experience. Book a *FREE* no-commitment 25 minute consult with me here: go.manufactured.com/meetings… If you're producing over $3,000,000 in COGs annually, @manufacturedcom can help you diversify, derisk and integrate a new supply chain in <90 days that can be both, accretive to your revenue and risk-mitigating to your business. We'd love to help your business succeed!
