When the new administration announced a potential 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports, many customers felt pressure to source the necessary materials for their products from new geographies, while still ensuring product quality and production timelines.

Due to TPC’s integrated model across the U.S., Mexico and China, we have leveraged our geographic diversity to help customers find solutions to tariff challenges by facilitating orders from different locations across our footprint.

TPC manufactures products across our facilities in China, Mexico, Wales and the U.S., accommodating increased demand and allowing us to adapt with our customers amid changing tariff environments. Our customers don’t have to worry about where their parts are coming from — they can count on us to develop them with precision and accuracy.

Our advanced manufacturers are working full steam ahead to provide the solutions needed for our global customers across aerospace & defense, medical and clean energy industries.

Leveraging Our Reach to Strengthen Partnerships

TPC is strengthened by a geographically dispersed, diversified and integrated business model, allowing us to serve customers from many different locations in the world to best meet their needs and deliver solutions that help them win.

“Across TPC, we remain committed to providing our customers with the flexibility and stability they need. If a product is being made in Mexico and tariffs are imposed, we can simply shift production to our U.S. or China facilities without disrupting supply,” TPC President Luis Gomez explains. “Transparency is key during these times of uncertainty. We’re upfront with our customers about any potential tariff impacts, and we work closely with them to find the most cost-effective manufacturing solution. Our goal is to be a true partner that helps our customers navigate the uncertainty, not add to their challenges.”

Advancing Our Goals Amid Global Turbulence

Our multi-regional manufacturing capability, combined with our focus on transparent communication, is helping our partners navigate these uncertain times.

With 80% of our advanced manufacturing facilities located coast-to-coast across the U.S., we are taking the following steps to support our customers throughout this period and beyond:

• Operational Agility: As needed, shifting production between facilities, ensuring the same quality and precision in all parts.
• Partnership Approach: Working closely with customers to find the most cost-effective manufacturing solution.
• Transparency and Flexibility: Communicating with customers on the options available and providing flexibility to scale with customers as they navigate macroeconomic changes in the market—tariffs or otherwise.

As global trade dynamics continue to evolve, TPC will continue to ensure we provide the necessary stability and partnership to our customers for their most important industry applications. We continue to operate with speed and precision, further establishing us as a preferred partner and building on a resilient foundation for our customers’ long-term success.
