Navigating Tariffs: What It Means for Our Customers
At West River Conveyors, we believe in being upfront with our customers, especially when changes in the global economy may impact your business. As a family-owned company proudly manufacturing conveyor systems in Oakwood, Virginia for more than 40 years, we remain deeply committed to American craftsmanship. We build our structures in Virginia, using American steel and skilled local labor, ensuring quality you can trust.
The proposed tariffs on imported goods may affect certain components like conveyor belts and some motors, which we source internationally due to the lack of U.S.-made alternatives. However, we are working hard to minimize any potential pricing impacts.
Additionally, West River offers an extensive inventory of used and retooled parts—particularly gearboxes and speed reducers—that can help you find cost-effective solutions without sacrificing performance. You can browse available parts anytime at westriverconveyors.com/parts.
We’re committed to helping you navigate these changes while continuing to deliver the high-quality equipment and service you expect. As more details become available, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
