Cookware Maker Prepares for Steel Tariffs Amid Rising Costs
Heritage Steel, a small cookware manufacturer in Tennessee, faces significant tariff costs on imported materials, leading to a 15% price increase on its products. Despite the higher costs, the company remains optimistic about its market position, leveraging its U.S.-based manufacturing and importing only raw materials. The tariffs have prompted the company to explore options for a fully U.S.-based supply chain, amid broader concerns about trade policy impacts.
