World Emblem, a producer of emblems and patches for clients like Levi’s, is shifting its manufacturing closer to the U.S. due to new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. This shift includes constructing a new facility in the Dominican Republic and expanding operations in Houston and Georgia to reduce reliance on Mexico and China. The company aims to minimize tariff exposure and maintain quick shipping for customers, which is a competitive advantage. CEO Randy Carr highlights the potential economic risks associated with future trade policy changes and inflation in Mexico.
