Recently, German automakers made a big news - they plan to build a factory in the United States to bypass the EU's high tariffs on American products. Although this move may save some money, it has angered other EU member states, who are worried about industrial relocation and investment loss. In this "policy earthquake zone", the retail display rack industry is also not idle. Retail display grid brackets (retail display grid brackets), Metal wire basket brackets (metal wire basket brackets), Slatwall wire basket accessories (hanging board net basket accessories), Retail store shelving brackets (retail store shelf brackets) These seemingly low-key little guys are quietly adjusting their strategies and preparing to "survive and develop" in the turmoil.
Global industry "chaos", how can retail display accessories manufacturers "develop in a wretched way"?
The German automotive industry's "US factory building" plan does not only affect the four-wheel industry, the entire manufacturing supply chain is trembling. Especially for those retail display accessories manufacturers who rely on exports, they now have to face not only the uncertainty of the transportation cycle, but also the "critical hit" caused by tax rate fluctuations. For example, for metal bracket products such as Retail display grid brackets and Metal wire basket brackets, you have to do some calculations before placing an order: How much is the tariff? Has the freight cost increased? Will the policy suddenly change?
Therefore, many companies began to move part of their production capacity to North America to ensure stable supply. But in this way, the supply chain has to adapt to the new standards and cost structure, which is like playing "industrial Tetris". As for Slatwall wire basket accessories and Retail store shelving brackets, some smart manufacturers have begun to purchase raw materials locally and establish regional distribution channels to avoid being "backstabbed" by sudden policies.
Aesthetic PK between the US and European markets, which metal display accessories is more popular?
The US and European markets have such different styles in the use of Retail display grid brackets and Retail store shelving brackets that they seem like two parallel universes. Americans love the simple and rough hardcore style. Metal wire basket brackets must be strong and durable, have strong load-bearing capacity, and can be "installed and disassembled in seconds". Europeans are more particular about refinement and elegance. The modular design of Slatwall wire basket accessories is more popular with small and medium-sized retailers. After all, it can be flexibly combined, saves space and looks good.
Therefore, in the new round of "manufacturing wars", brands must not only calculate the cost account, but also study the "display habits" of consumers in various places. For example, some German companies have outsourced the production of lightweight Retail display grid brackets to Poland or the Czech Republic, but the high-precision processing product line is still kept in the country. After all, the EU's standard supervision is not a joke.
"Three burrows for cunning rabbits" strategy: decentralized manufacturing can survive longer
Under the "repeated jumps" of tariff policies, the display rack industry has also begun to play the "clone technique". For example, some parts of Metal wire basket brackets or Retail store shelving brackets can be produced in the United States, and the assembly process can be moved to other regions. This can not only meet local delivery needs, but also reduce taxes. It is simply "killing two birds with one stone".
What's more, some US retail equipment buyers have directly hooked up with the Asian supply chain and introduced Slatwall wire basket accessories, which are very cost-effective, into their own warehousing and display projects. Factories in China and Vietnam are also adjusting their shipment rhythms, ready to respond to policy "changes".
How can the supply chain "fight" with the "gods of war"?
German companies want to bypass EU tariffs, and the display rack accessories industry must also "follow the wind". Keeping abreast of the dynamics of European and American trade policies and adjusting customs declaration plans and supply strategies have become "life-saving skills" to stabilize customers.
For example, optimize the packaging method of Retail display grid brackets to reduce the transportation volume; or do some "subtraction design" for Metal wire basket brackets, cutting off non-core functions to reduce costs. In this policy "battle royale", whoever can react quickly and adjust flexibly can seize new opportunities and "successfully steal the tower" when customer needs are restructured.
Under the trend of environmental protection, display racks must also "go green"
Now the world is pursuing sustainable development, and Retail store shelving brackets and Slatwall wire basket accessories cannot lag behind, and are evolving in the direction of "detachable and recyclable". Especially after the implementation of carbon footprint management in Germany, the life cycle of display equipment has become a key inspection item for buyers. In other words, the current display racks must not only be able to carry and load, but also be environmentally friendly, which is simply "wanting the horse to run, but not to eat grass".
