Understanding the Global LCD Supply Chain and Tariffs

In today’s interconnected world, the production of LCDs involves a complex global supply chain. While we understand concerns about tariff increases, it’s important to note that most manufacturers are similarly reliant on key production hubs, such as China. This means that tariff changes typically affect the industry as a whole.

Why This Matters:

• Consistency: Regardless of the manufacturer, similar tariffs will apply, as the supply chains are globally interconnected.  You may see the expense of these portrayed in different ways, however, they are still there.
• Quality and Service: By staying with us, you benefit from our commitment to quality and customer service, which might not be guaranteed elsewhere.

Our Commitment: We are dedicated to navigating these challenges and providing you with the best possible products and support.  We will always continue to look for opportunities to optimize the supply chain and improve the value of our products in terms of price, quality and lead times.
