It is highly unlikely that anyone has been unaware of the tariffs that have been introduced this year. It has dominated the media, and its effects on the global stock markets have been marked. The situation appears to still be fluid, and its effect on the geopolitical landscape has been immeasurable. So, I hear you cry, how can MCI help us?
MCI can offer quite a few services to ‘soften’ the impact of the tariffs, not only on companies in the UK, but companies globally.
Firstly, we have a distribution department that can supply electrical and electronic components at very competitive prices within short timeframes. This includes components from ‘obsolete’ machinery, that MCI can refurbish and test.
MCI also offers a bespoke design and manufacture service. This means that we can create the machine parts that you need in some cases. Since the UK has recently entered into a trade agreement with the USA that ensures lower tariffs, MCI’s in-house manufactured parts have become particularly attractive to our customers, as they are all made in Scotland and can be sent internationally. MCI is also renowned for being impartial and, if it is better for us to source it for you, we have excellent contacts worldwide to ensure very competitive prices, even with tariffs included.
Finally, sometimes parts just need to be repaired rather than replaced. In most cases, this can be more cost and time efficient and in a case where the machine is a longstanding workhorse, we can either repair the machine part, or source and refurbish the part required. We can even help you fit and install the refurbished part, if necessary.
Give MCI a call on 01324 611371 to see how we can help you keep your machinery going, wherever it may be in the world.
