FORTEC Group Opens Cost-Effective Gateway to U.S. Market for European Electronics Firms
FORTEC Group Opens Cost-Effective Gateway to U.S. Market for European Electronics Firms The FORTEC Group is streamlining U.S. market access for European electronics companies through a smart blend of local manufacturing in the United States and pre-assembly operations in Egypt. The industrial display and embedded systems specialist offers a strategic production chain that significantly reduces import surcharges.
By ensuring that the majority of value creation takes place within the U.S., products are subject only to the standard 10% customs duty—offering cost predictability and improved planning security in today’s volatile global trade environment.
“Our global manufacturing strategy protects our customers from unforeseen customs charges and ensures a competitive pricing structure in the long term,” said Ulrich Ermel, COO of FORTEC Elektronik AG and Managing Director of FORTEC Integrated GmbH.
In addition to lower import costs, FORTEC’s diversified production sites and local warehousing enhance flexibility, minimize delivery times, and shield customers from the impact of trade disruptions. This approach supports high quality standards and shortens lead times—key advantages for European industrial clients.
With this forward-thinking strategy, FORTEC underscores its role as a proactive partner to the European electronics industry, ensuring efficient, reliable, and competitive delivery of products to U.S. customers.
