As global trade dynamics shift, U.S. tariffs—25–50% on steel, aluminum, EV components, semiconductors, solar cells, and more—are dramatically reshaping supply chains. Amid these changes, OEMs are reevaluating sourcing strategies.

Here's why K+G Industrial Group stands out:


1. Built-in Tariff Resilience

K+G operates fully within the U.S., insulated from expensive import levies. While foreign competitors face up to 50% duty on critical components, K+G’s domestic manufacturing ensures price stability and improved cost control.


2. Advance Capacity Preparedness

Many manufacturers are ramping up production to beat tariff deadlines; U.S. industrial output surged just before tariffs kicked in (kpmg.com). K+G, with its scalable U.S.-based facilities, is strategically positioned to absorb OEM demand without the disruption of stockpiling tactics.


3. Stability in Metals and Materials

Tariffs have spiked domestic metal prices by 15–20% (kfgo.com). K+G's long-standing partnerships with U.S. steel and aluminum suppliers offer pricing predictability, insulating OEMs from volatile import tariffs.


4. Localized Supply Chain Advantages

K+G’s domestic supplier network minimizes exposure to global logistics uncertainty. In comparison, global companies are forced to re-engineer supply chains or relocate parts of their operations . K+G already delivers this integration.


5. Cost-Effective Aftermarket and Logistics

Just as LS Mtron minimized tariffs by localizing key parts in Texas (plasticsnews.com), K+G Industrial Group’s U.S. aftermarket parts and short lead times reduce landed cost and elevate OEM satisfaction.


6. Fed by Industry Incentives

With expanded tariffs, regulatory pressures, and incentives to onshore manufacturing, companies leaning into U.S.-based operations stand to gain from favorable policies and potential subsidies (oemmagazine.org, kpmg.com). K+G is well-aligned with this momentum.
