Kontron slipper for ekstratold ved salg til USA

Kontron oplyser, at firmaets produkter er blevet undtaget for den ekstra told på 15 procent, der er indført i USA for produkter, som kommer fra Europa (in english).

Kontron, a global leader in IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), confirms that Kontron Group products will remain exempt from the trade tariffs imposed on the European Union by the U.S. government under the Executive Order of July 31, 2025, in particular the imposition of a 15% tariff.

Thanks to its strategic presence with subsidiaries and production facilities in the USA and Canada, Kontron is optimally positioned to cushion the potential impact of current and future customs regulations. This strong positioning has already enabled Kontron to attract new customers who will benefit directly from the customs exemption on the products.

With its internationally oriented production structure, Kontron is also able to avoid import duties into the USA for around 85 to 90 percent of its products. At the same time, the company is pursuing the goal of reducing the remaining share of 10 to 15 percent as much as possible through relocations and other measures.

The US market, with its great growth potential, is a key strategic priority for Kontron.

- The current customs situation strengthens our competitiveness and the value proposition we can offer our customers and partners, emphasizes Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG, and he continues:

- Our presence in the North American market opens up additional growth opportunities for us. At the same time, our customers benefit along the entire supply chain – through the elimination of customs costs, lower transport costs and shorter delivery times. This not only increases efficiency and margins but also improves our carbon footprint.
