With tariffs continuing to shape the manufacturing landscape, companies that adapt will have the competitive edge. At GLI, we’re not just responding to tariffs –we're helping our customers turn them into opportunities.

Flexible Options That Work for You

We understand that every company has different systems and processes. That’s why we’re giving you options when it comes to handling tariff-related price adjustments. You can choose:

• A separate line item for tariff adjustments, keeping the base price unchanged while clearly outlining the added cost.
• Adding the tariff to the piece price, rolling the tariff impact into the product cost.

Our team will reach out to discuss what works best for your business. We’re here to help make these adjustments as easy as possible.

Keeping Pricing Competitive

We’re working to mitigate the impact the tariffs have on your parts. Tariff costs will only be passed on when necessary. We also ask you to contact our engineering team to learn how we can use our global sourcing, including our US based manufacturing, to solve the short- and long-term impact of the tariffs.

Staying Ahead of the Game

With tariffs continuing to shape the manufacturing landscape, companies that adapt will have the competitive edge.  At GLI, we’re not just responding to tariffs – we're helping our customers turn them into opportunities.  To minimize the impact of tariffs, we’re taking a proactive approach:

• Strengthening our U.S. supply chain by partnering with top domestic suppliers and expanding our in-house capabilities.
• Working closely with our global vendor base to evaluate potential impacts and adjust sourcing strategies.
• Offering strategic stocking programs so customers can secure inventory before tariff increases hit to minimize cost fluctuations. 
• Analyzing the effects on the parts you currently buy to find cost-effective solutions while maintaining quality.

Investing in U.S. Manufacturing

We believe in American manufacturing and are putting our money where our mouth is. With three domestic production facilities, including our newest addition, Elk Grove Rubber, we’re expanding our capabilities in gaskets, hydraulic and pneumatic vales, valve stands, custom-molded seals and shapes, rubber-to-metal bonded seals, and O-rings. This means:

• A more reliable supply chain
• Faster lead times
• Less dependence on global disruptions
