Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of adversity, and it's at the heart of everything we do at Taoglas.

Welcome to the latest edition of "O'Shea Insights," my newsletter, to update you on what's happening in Taoglas and the latest innovations shaping connectivity.  

I'm dedicating this issue to a topic on everyone's mind right now: tariffs. Tariffs are dominating the thoughts, discussions, and decisions of companies worldwide. Everyone is taking different steps to assess and manage the impact they'll have.

Here at Taoglas, hope is never our strategy, and we are confident in our ability to navigate tariffs with minimal disruption to ourselves and, most importantly, our customers. From innovation to supply chain stability, Taoglas is built to help our customers navigate times like these.

For over 20 years, we've operated as a truly global company. With eight design and manufacturing centres across Ireland, San Diego, Vietnam, Taiwan, and beyond, we've built a resilient network that keeps your projects moving forward. Our global team works obsessively to deliver an uninterrupted, diversified supply chain for rapid local delivery and seamless support internationally. And in today's climate, that matters more than ever.

To stay successful, we stay agile. That means embracing flexible strategies, fostering an adaptive culture, and investing in advanced technologies. We’ve already proven our resilience through global disruptions like COVID and chip shortages - tariffs are no different.

Since our inception in 2004, the industry has transformed daily - but our core values remain unchanged: innovation, quality, and trusted partnerships. These principles have been the key to our success and guide every decision we make.

Every Taoglas antenna is available with a country of origin from either the USA, Ireland, Vietnam, Taiwan or India. Our global footprint is built to reduce your risk and optimize costs, with fully owned manufacturing in Vietnam and Taiwan, expanding production in India, and final assembly operations in Ireland and across the U.S.

What does this mean for our US customers? Most importantly, none of our antenna manufacturing is currently based in China. You can purchase any antenna from our locations in Taiwan or Vietnam with only a 10% tariff for the next 90 days. We are one of the only antenna vendors worldwide that can provide this.

Let's Build Your Optimal Tariff Strategy

We recognize that no two customers are the same, and your supply chain needs are unique. Our world-class team is ready to guide you through the best options for your specific requirements, ensuring you receive the right antenna at the right cost from the right location.
