Tariffs are reshaping global trade—and the cleaning industry is feeling the pressure.
In this episode, we sit down with Ron Attman, the co-CEO at Acme Paper and Supply Co., to talk about the unpredictable cost of goods, shifting manufacturing strategies, and what it takes to stay competitive in a volatile global market.
As companies move production away from China and other high-tariff regions, new questions emerge: Can the U.S. step in to meet demand? Are relocations to other countries a sustainable long-term strategy? And how can businesses protect their supply chains from future disruption?
We also explore the real impact on customers—price hikes, delays, and rising frustration—and what Acme is doing to manage expectations and deliver value despite the chaos.
Whether you’re a supplier, distributor, or end-user in the cleaning industry, this conversation will give you insights into how strategic companies are responding to today’s economic uncertainty—and preparing for whatever comes next.
