With rising tariffs and shifting global policies, having options Outside of China is no longer just a strategy—it’s a necessity. At MCL, we’ve established a trusted network of manufacturing partners to protect your business from volatile tariffs, rising costs and political uncertainties.
Joe Helms, Director of Sales at Millennium Circuits Limited (MCL), shared his expertise. The global electronics manufacturing landscape is rapidly shifting. For decades, China has led the way with cost-efficient labor and cutting-edge production capabilities—but the world has changed. Rising tariffs, unpredictable trade policies, and mounting geopolitical risks have turned what was once a dependable strategy into a potential vulnerability.
