Swiss technology group Bühler announced measures to ensure uninterrupted service and competitive delivery for its US customers, following the recent introduction of 39% tariffs on Swiss goods by the United States.

Leveraging its extensive US-based production, engineering, and service network, Bühler aims to minimize potential disruptions while maintaining product quality and delivery efficiency. The company’s diversified global supply chain, along with strong local capabilities, provides flexibility to adapt its manufacturing and sourcing strategies.

“Tariffs are beyond our control, but our delivery setup is not,” said Stefan Scheiber, CEO of Bühler Group. “We have the flexibility to adjust our execution strategy—including sourcing and manufacturing options—to ensure our customers in the US continue to receive the best solutions, on time and under competitive conditions.”

Bühler’s presence in the United States dates back to 1924, and its local footprint has grown steadily over the decades. Today, the company operates three manufacturing sites—in Minneapolis (Minnesota), Raleigh (North Carolina), and Holland (Michigan)—as well as four service stations and three research and training centers across the country.

According to Andy Sharpe, President & CEO of Bühler North America, the company’s strong regional infrastructure helps mitigate the effects of trade tariffs. “Our customers should not assume that the 39% tariff will be applied to the full value of a project,” Sharpe explained. “Thanks to our strong local and regional capabilities combined with our strong global footprint, we can structure our delivery in a way that minimizes exposure to tariffs while maintaining the highest standards of quality and service.”

Over the past decade, Bühler has made significant investments in its US facilities, including apprenticeship programs in Minneapolis and North Carolina designed to nurture local technical talent. The company also collaborates with leading US research institutions to foster innovation in grain processing, food technology, and automation.

Beyond the United States, Bühler maintains a global manufacturing network of 31 sites, enabling it to optimize production and logistics worldwide.

As part of its continued expansion in the Americas, Bühler is currently constructing a new manufacturing facility in Torreón, Mexico, which is expected to become operational in the second quarter of 2026. The plant will serve the company’s Grains & Food business and is expected to further enhance Bühler’s responsiveness to North American customers.

“The US market is strategically important to Bühler,” added Scheiber. “We value the long-term relationships we’ve built over decades. Our approach has always been, and remains, partnership-based with a long-term perspective.”

Through a combination of local investment, workforce development, and regional manufacturing expansion, Bühler is positioning itself to sustain its commitment to customers in the US and across the continent—ensuring continuity, flexibility, and competitiveness in an evolving trade environment.
