Reshoring as a Tariff Mitigation Strategy

A growing segment of Amtech’s customers are reshoring manufacturing to the US precisely because of tariff exposure, supply chain risk, and geopolitical uncertainty. Key points:

  • US-assembled PCBA eliminates Section 301 tariffs on the assembly labor and overhead portion
  • Component-level tariffs remain a factor — but eliminating CM tariff is meaningful for high-complexity assemblies
  • Regulatory tailwinds: FCC, DoD, and sector-specific rules are increasingly requiring US-manufactured electronic assemblies
  • Made in USA advantage: Government, defense-adjacent, industrial, and consumer markets increasingly prefer USA-sourced products, sometimes at a premium willing to absorb cost impact

AMTECH ADVANTAGE: As a 30-year US manufacturer in Michigan, Amtech-produced assemblies carry zero country-of-origin risk on the assembly side. For customers navigating Buy American, NOAA Section 889, or FCC mandates — Amtech is a compliant-by-default partner.
