We need to be able to plan
Corrin runs a company specializing in prototyping for the manufacturing industry, helping businesses create first-run models of products ranging from automotive and lighting components to electronics and toys. Recently, tariff-related price fluctuations have created major challenges, with some component costs spiking by over 50%. This instability has made it harder for Blitz Proto to provide accurate quotes in advance, increased research time for sourcing materials, and added financial risk when costs rise after agreements are made. While some customers accept the added expenses, the unpredictability has strained operations.
