Shanghai Automechanika Highlights: Amid Global Trade Uncertainty, Shanghai Trans-Power’s Thailand Plant Helps Overseas Customers Overcome Tariff Concerns
At the 2025 Shanghai Automechanika Show, the global automotive parts industry once again demonstrated both its vitality and its challenges. With international trade policies rapidly shifting, increasing tariff uncertainty has become a major concern for customers from North America, Europe, South America, the Middle East, and beyond. This year, the trend was particularly evident. From the very first day of the exhibition, many overseas buyers expressed similar worries—rising import tariffs are pushing costs higher and making them more cautious when selecting suppliers.
For many overseas clients who have long relied on Chinese manufacturing, “tariff risk” has become a decisive factor influencing their purchasing decisions. A customer from the United States mentioned that their import costs across several categories increased over the past year, raising new questions about supply chain stability. A European distributor shared that the ongoing cost pressure is forcing them to reevaluate their sourcing structure and look for more flexible supply options.
However, once these customers visited the Shanghai Trans-Power booth, their concerns were quickly addressed. After we introduced the production capabilities, quality control system, and stable capacity planning of our Thailand factory, many buyers felt a great sense of relief. The Thailand facility not only operates under the same quality standards as our China headquarters, but—more importantly—its geographic and trade-policy advantages allow exported products to enjoy significant tariff reductions or zero-tariff treatment when shipped to the U.S., Europe, and various other markets.
This means customers no longer need to worry about sudden tariff increases or unpredictable cost fluctuations. For them, the Thailand factory offers not just high-quality products, but also a stable and tariff-friendly supply chain that remains reliable amid global trade turbulence.
During the exhibition, many clients who had been hesitant due to tariff concerns quickly shifted to proactive engagement after learning about our Thailand solution. Several buyers confirmed items for quotation on the spot, while others requested technical meetings or factory video conferences after the show to speed up their ordering processes. A customer from South America even said, “Your Thailand production line is exactly what we needed—it gives us the confidence to stay competitive in our market.”
Throughout the event, the Shanghai Trans-Power booth saw strong traffic. Many long-term partners visited to explore new projects and expressed appreciation for our continuous efforts to enhance global supply chain flexibility. As a manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in the automotive bearing industry, we understand that the key to long-term cooperation lies in truly solving real problems for our customers.
This year’s exhibition reaffirmed the global demand for a “stable supply chain” and “controllable cost structure.” The strategic layout of our Thailand facility gives customers a safer, more flexible, and more competitive supply option—enabling them to move forward with confidence despite a complex and fast-changing international environment.
Looking ahead, Shanghai Trans-Power will continue to optimize our global production footprint, providing customers worldwide with reliable long-term value through stable lead times, flexible solutions, and competitive costs.
