Tariffs & U.S. Based Manufacturing
In a time when global supply chains are more unpredictable than ever, tariff hikes and import delays can derail even the best-planned commercial & retail projects. At KPI Concepts, we help our customers sidestep these risks by operating as a centrally located, U.S.-based manufacturer with a focus on domestic sourcing and lean manufacturing.
“You shouldn’t have to gamble with tariffs. That’s why we build everything here at home. — KPI Concepts”
The Tariff Problem: Delays, Costs & Uncertainty
Tariffs and trade restrictions can lead to higher costs, extended lead times, and uncertain product availability. This is especially problematic in industries where speed, consistency, and cost-efficiency are key—like retail store fixtures, convenience store cabinetry, and commercial metal fabrication.
Rather than relying on uncertain overseas supply chains, KPI Concepts provides a stable, domestic alternative that gives our partners a competitive edge.
Why U.S.-Based Sourcing Matters Now More Than Ever
Being headquartered in the heart of the U.S., KPI Concepts is strategically positioned to serve clients across the country—without the bottlenecks of international freight or customs processing.
Benefits of Domestic Sourcing:
- No Tariff Surprises: Avoid unexpected fees and compliance issues.
- Faster Delivery: Get your products on-site and on time.
- Better Communication: Work directly with our team, without language or time zone barriers.
- Predictable Pricing: Stable sourcing means no volatility from global market swings.
Flexibility with Global Reach When Needed
While our primary supply chain is domestic, we have the capability to source materials internationally when project scope, timeline, or budget calls for it. This hybrid model allows us to remain flexible—always putting the needs of your project first, without sacrificing quality or deadlines.
Efficiency Through Lean Manufacturing
As part of our commitment to excellence, KPI Concepts follows lean manufacturing principles—reducing waste, improving turnaround time, and maintaining consistent quality throughout the production process.
