Local production in the US and pre-assembly in Egypt enable electronics companies to supply the US market more effectively. This coordinated production chain reduces high markups, as only regular customs duties of around 10 percent apply, ensuring more stable import costs and better planning security. Geographic diversification and local warehousing minimize the effects of trade sanctions and tariff adjustments, enabling European customers to benefit from shorter delivery times and high quality standards. Ulrich Ermel, COO of Fortec Elektronik AG, emphasizes that this strategy ensures long-term competitive price structures and offers technological progress and added value along the supply chain.
