As global trade policies continue to shift, manufacturers face mounting pressure to reassess their supply chain strategies. Rising uncertainty around cross-border costs has accelerated the need for reliable, regionally based production partners. Anticipating these changes, SVI strategically established its U.S. facility in Vancouver, Washington—well in advance of the April 2025 tariff increases. This proactive investment provides our customers with greater supply chain stability, improved responsiveness, and consistent cost control in an increasingly complex market.
Recent U.S. policy changes have already disrupted deliveries for global brands. Suppliers across industries are now navigating sudden shifts, shipment delays, and increased cost volatility. At SVI, we believe in staying ahead of the curve. Our early investment in a U.S.-based facility ensures continuity and confidence for our customers amid ongoing global uncertainty.
While some companies are holding back shipments or revisiting their global strategies, SVI customers leveraging U.S.-based manufacturing benefit from:
• Reduced exposure to international policy risks
• Improved lead times and market responsiveness
• Predictable cost structures for long-term planning
This strategic positioning gives OEMs serving the U.S. market a clear competitive advantage.
Our Vancouver facility is seamlessly integrated with SVI’s global operations. Customers enjoy the advantages of local manufacturing while tapping into our broader international capabilities, including:
• Advanced engineering and NPI support
• Flexible production capacity across the U.S. and Southeast Asia
• Harmonized quality and compliance standards worldwide
With the U.S. effective tariff rate now at its highest in over a century—and import duties on some goods exceeding 100%—many businesses with overseas operations are facing heightened uncertainty. OEMs are being forced to rethink their sourcing models, cost structures, and time-to-market strategies.
