The developments in our markets over the past 6 months have been remarkable, jarring, and challenging. Without knowing what the final decision will be on tariff levels and timing of this implementation has caused much angst among our customers, suppliers, and competitors alike. Supply chain disruptions are never easy or enjoyable – just look at recent COVID period to remind us the difficulties we faced during a time o major upheaval. As the largest US based manufacturer of solid, flat free. polyurethane foam and polyurethane elastomer tires, we remain ready to work with anyone looking for a “Made in the USA ” tire for their equipment. In addition, our tires have superior performance to any imported tire, our customers enjoy enhanced operation from the equipment the tire is installed.
Tariffs in theory should be beneficial to American manufacturers like Amerityre, but in practice we will not emerge unscathed. While all our tires are produced in Boulder City, NV. we currently import our rims and they have already been subject to hefty tariffs. Our other raw materials are purchased domestically, but tariffs may create an international arbitrage of the US price versus international pricing on chemicals, resulting in supply disruptions and variable pricing. Our strategy is to hold our current pricing until we see an established uptrend in raw material pricing. We know how much our customers appreciate pricing stability when running their businesses, and historically we have avoided raising prices except as a last resort.
