Despite its production united states. Consequently, :
Some Swiss companies plan to relocate part of their production in the United States, hoping to reduce the impact of American customs duties. Meanwhile, This choice, the rail manufacturer Stadler Rail did it ten years ago already. However, this does not shelter him from commercial barriers.
The Salt Lake City Stadler Rail factory, which today has more than 1,000 employees, manufactures trains for the American market. However, But producing in the United States is not enough to escape customs duties. In addition, Stadler Rail, like all companies based in the United States, in fact on all imported components.
“The chassis of the bogies. the wheels come from Winterthur and we buy aluminum for the boxes of the Wagons in Valais. We will therefore be affected. ” explains the chairman of the board of directors of Stadler Rail Peter Spuhler in the 12:45 am of despite its production united states, the RTS.
Peter Spuhler is less struck by customs duties because he produces in the United States. These taxes are therefore not “fatal”, compared to the total cost of the vehicle, he admits. “But that hurts, of course”. The railway manufacturer therefore calls for companies’ solidarity to “get out of this dead end”.
“Huge bureaucracy” – Despite its production united states,
Stadler Rail also provides its European factories in Austria in Austria. Germany, where 15% taxes are lower than the 39% Swiss. The calculation of customs duties is therefore complicated. “Chartered accountants come to our premises. review all the components to find out how much they cost, where they come from, etc.”, indicates Peter Spuhler. “So it’s a huge bureaucracy”.
It is in this context that the Federal Council met on Wednesday morning. In order to reassure Swiss companies, he reaffirmed his support for the economy, promising bureaucratic lightening (see box).
Stadler Rail, for its part, will spend 70 million to despite its production united states, enlarge its American factory. Switzerland can only hope that billions of Swiss businesses will push Donald Trump to soften his customs policy.
