FORTEC Group, a leading provider of solutions for industrial display, embedded and system solutions, as well as power supplies, enables European companies with U.S. customers to optimize their production chains. By combining local manufacturing in the United States with the strategic pre-assembly of electronic components in Egypt, the company, together with its subsidiaries, provides a cost-effective pathway for the electronics industry to supply the U.S. market.
Thanks to this coordinated production chain, high surcharges are largely eliminated, as products with the corresponding added value are only subject to regular customs duties of currently 10%. This significant difference results in more stable and predictable import costs, thereby enhancing planning certainty even in an internationally volatile trade environment.
In addition to the cost advantages, FORTEC convinces with its efficiency and flexibility in material procurement. The geographical diversification of production sites and local warehousing mitigate the impact of trade sanctions and sudden customs adjustments. As a result, European industrial customers benefit from shorter delivery times, high quality standards, and a predictable cost structure.
“Our global manufacturing strategy protects our customers from unforeseen customs charges and ensures a competitive pricing structure in the long term,” emphasized Ulrich Ermel, Chief Operating Officer of FORTEC Elektronik AG and Managing Director of FORTEC Integrated GmbH. “FORTEC delivers not only technological progress with its innovative solutions but also genuine added value along the entire supply chain.”
This strategic focus demonstrates that FORTEC is responding flexibly and proactively to global challenges, thereby enabling the European electronics industry to offer its products in the United States efficiently, reliably, and competitively.
