Navigating the New Tariff Landscape:
How Industrial PC, Inc Helps You Succeed
At Industrial PC Inc, we have stood strong with our customers for over 20 years through thick and thin.
Over the past two decades, we have faced every challenge you can imagine and have found ways to help minimize the impact for our customers, including (most recently) COVID and supply chain chaos.
The latest bump in the road is tariffs. And, as always, we’re taking it head-on.
Minimizing the Impact that Tariffs Have on Industrial Computer Pricing
At Industrial PC, we understand the concerns that tariffs raise for our customers.
Higher acquisition costs inevitably translate to increased prices, potentially disrupting budgets and procurement plans.
However, we want you to know that our family-owned and operated team is prepared to help you navigate these changes with minimal disruption to your operations and bottom line.
Since our beginning, Industrial PC has successfully guided our clients through numerous market challenges. From the recession of the early 1990s to the tech bubble burst, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the recent global supply chain disruptions during the pandemic – we’ve maintained our commitment to providing reliable industrial computing solutions throughout it all.
This perspective gives us a unique advantage in times of market uncertainty. We’ve developed strategies and approaches that ensure our clients can access the technology they need, even when external factors create challenges. The implementation of this new tariff is just another obstacle that we’re well-equipped to help you overcome.
TARIFF: BUSTED!
They don’t call me Tim the Tariff Buster because I’m so great at raising prices.
One of our core strengths has always been our ability to customize industrial computing solutions to match exact specifications. In the current environment, this capability takes on even greater significance.
For example, we just worked with a manufacturing client who initially requested a high-end industrial computer with extensive I/O capabilities. After a thorough consultation, we determined that several of these features would remain unused in their particular application. By customizing a solution that included only the necessary components, we delivered a system that perfectly met their performance requirements while reducing costs by enough to completely offset the cost of the added tariff.
Other Ways to Counteract the Tariffs
Our extensive product line includes options at various price points, all meeting our rigorous standards for industrial reliability. Often, we can suggest alternative models or configurations that provide the same essential functionality at a more accessible price point.
This might involve recommending:
- A different form factor that offers the same computing power
- A previous-generation processor that still meets performance requirements
- Alternative storage solutions that provide sufficient speed and reliability
- Display options that match your needs without unnecessary premium features
We stay current on the performance capabilities across our entire product range, allowing us to match your specific requirements to the most cost-effective solution available.
The implementation of these new tariffs presents challenges, but it doesn’t change the fundamental need for reliable industrial computing solutions in your operations. As your trusted partner for 40 years, Industrial PC remains committed to helping you succeed regardless of market conditions.
Our expertise, product knowledge, and customer-first approach position us uniquely to help you navigate these changes with minimal disruption. We’ve faced market challenges before, and we’ll face this one together with the same dedication to finding the right solution for your needs.
While there are some uncertainties here, one thing is for sure: we are in this together—and we’re not going anywhere.

The Long-Term Cost of Short-Term Savings
When evaluating industrial computing solutions, particularly in response to price increases, it’s essential to consider the total cost of ownership rather than just the initial purchase price.
Less expensive alternatives from unproven sources may seem attractive initially but often lead to:
- Increased downtime due to reliability issues
- Higher maintenance costs over the life of the system
- Shorter operational lifespans
- Limited or non-existent technical support
- Compatibility problems with existing infrastructure
Our industrial computers are engineered for extended operational life in demanding environments. The reliability, support, and longevity of our solutions typically result in a significantly lower total cost of ownership, even if the initial purchase price is higher than some alternatives.
