To Our Valued Dealers,

At RFM Seating, we know that economic uncertainty and rising costs present challenges for businesses like yours. As your trusted partner, we want to be transparent about industry changes while reaffirming our commitment to stability, quality, and sustainability.

Tariff Increases on Canadian & Chinese Imports

The U.S. government recently announced tariff increases on our imports from Canada and China. These tariffs directly impact the raw materials used in manufacturing. Despite these increases, RFM Seating is committed to maintaining pricing stability for our dealers and customers.

We will not be raising our prices in response to these tariffs.

Our Commitment to Stability and Quality

Instead of reacting with immediate price adjustments, we are taking a long-term approach to cost management to ensure you and your customers continue to receive the same high-quality products at consistent prices. We are doing this by:

• Strategically managing costs across our supply chain to offset rising expenses.
• Leveraging our dual-manufacturing capabilities in Kansas and Oregon to minimize production expenses.
• Strengthening supplier partnerships to secure the best possible pricing.

We believe that your business deserves reliability and consistency, and we are making operational decisions that ensure you can continue selling RFM Seating products with ease and confidence.
