Bühler Group has announced strategies to maintain reliable equipment supply to its American customers despite new 39% tariffs imposed on Swiss goods entering the United States.
The Swiss-based manufacturing technology company is leveraging its substantial US presence, which includes three manufacturing facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Holland, Michigan; along with four service stations and three research and training centers.
"Tariffs are beyond our control, but our delivery setup is not," said Stefan Scheiber, CEO of Bühler Group. "We have the flexibility to adjust our execution strategy including sourcing and manufacturing options to ensure our customers in the US continue to receive the best solutions, on time and under competitive conditions."
The company, which has operated in the US since 1924, emphasized that its local engineering, automation and research capabilities allow it to adapt quickly to changing market conditions while maintaining quality standards.
"Our customers should not assume that the 39% tariff will be applied to the full value of a project," explained Andy Sharpe, President and CEO of Bühler North America. "Thanks to our strong local and regional capabilities combined with our strong global footprint, we can structure our delivery in a way that minimizes exposure to tariffs."
Bühler is further strengthening its North American manufacturing capacity with a new facility under construction in Torreón, Mexico, scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2026. The company also maintains 31 manufacturing sites worldwide, providing additional supply chain flexibility.
The company continues to invest in local talent development, including apprenticeship programs at its US sites in Minneapolis and North Carolina.
