Affinity Tackles Global Tariff Challenges with Resilience and Transparency

Jeffersonville, IN — Affinity, a global leader in tailored uniform solutions and part of Mi Hub’s extensive network, shares its proactive strategy for navigating global tariff challenges in its latest article, Navigating the New Global Tariffs in Uniform Manufacturing. This comprehensive piece underscores Affinity’s commitment to supporting businesses amid changing trade policies.

Tariffs, imposed on imported goods by governments to regulate international trade, have significantly impacted uniform manufacturing, from production costs to supply chain complexities. Affinity stands out with its unwavering focus on transparency, ensuring any tariff-related cost changes are clearly communicated and responsibly applied without compromising customer trust.

With 80% of Mi Hub’s operations anchored in Europe, Affinity offers unparalleled stability compared to U.S.-centric competitors heavily affected by tariff pressures. This global footprint, supported by 40 manufacturing partners, allows the company to adapt to shifting trade environments and explore emerging sourcing opportunities including nearshoring options in Mexico and Central America, balancing proximity advantages with supply chain demand.

“We understand that the introduction of these new tariffs can be concerning and somewhat confusing, but Affinity remains dedicated to providing clarity and support for our customers that may be impacted,” said John Szparaga, Senior Vice President at Affinity. “Our strength lies in transparency, strategic sourcing, and decades of expertise, supported by Mi Hub’s global network.”
