Global trade is changing fast, and chemical manufacturers are feeling the squeeze.
For European epoxy and chemical producers, shipping into the U.S. has never been more expensive. With tariffs mounting, manufacturers face a tough choice:
- Absorb the increased costs and take a hit on profit margins.
- Establish U.S.-based operations—an investment that’s costly, complex, and time-consuming.
But what if there was a hidden, third option? At Copps, we believe a better path forward is identifying a partner who can help you bypass the burden of tariffs.
A Turbulent Trade Landscape
The reality is, no one knows what the current or the next administration will do. Will tariffs remain? Will they be rolled back? Will they intensify? That uncertainty makes long-term investment decisions nearly impossible.
Establishing new operations in the U.S. means navigating permitting, state and federal regulations, and a host of chemical compliance requirements—all before you even open the doors to a new facility. For most manufacturers, the process is overwhelming and cost-prohibitive.
That’s where private label manufacturing comes in. As a more practical alternative, white labeling is a strategy that can keep you competitive in the short or long term.
How White Labeling Works at Copps
Copps has built a reputation on tackling complex challenges and creating real-world solutions. When it comes to market entry, establishing a new U.S. facility can take years. Copps can have you supplying customers in just months through private label manufacturing.
Here’s how it works:
- You already have a successful product/formula that’s suddenly subject to tariffs.
- Copps can reproduce or reformulate it here in the U.S. (sometimes adjusting for local regulations or the availability of raw materials).
- We manufacture and package the product with your label, then ship it directly to your customer.
It’s the same solution we’ve used for years to support our global clients, paving a more cost-effective path. Now, with tariffs shifting the balance, inquiries for U.S.-based white label production are on the rise.
