US sensor manufacturer keeps prices stable despite new tariffs

NewTek Sensor Solutions, a manufacturer of LVDT position sensors based in the USA, can help its customers mitigate most of the volatility and cost increases associated with US and global tariffs by continuing to source components domestically and conducting manufacturing in-house.

This strategy helps NewTek avoid severe price hikes, keeping prices stable and competitive for clients, particularly those in industries with long-term contracts sensitive to price increases.

Increased tariffs will significantly raise costs for some international sensor manufacturers. These companies may pass on these costs by applying surcharges to invoices without prior notice to end users, who might not even realise the country of origin when purchasing a part. However, this is not a concern for US customers buying from domestic sources such as NewTek.

For customers within the US, NewTek’s shipments are domestic, which helps avoid logistical challenges and fees related to customs, duties and international tariffs.  Domestic shipping allows for easier package tracking and better management of shipping-related issues.  It is often faster, enabling NewTek to provide fast turnaround for customers.
