How This Smart Tech Company Beat the US Tariff Shock

April 23, 2025 at 09:41 AM EDT

The latest wave of US tariffs has reignited a debate that’s been quietly building across boardrooms and factory floors: in a fragmented global economy, where should advanced manufacturing actually happen?

In April 2025, the US government implemented sweeping tariffs, including a 10% baseline on all imports and higher rates for specific countries, aiming to bolster domestic manufacturing and address trade imbalances.

This move has sent ripples through global markets, affecting various industries from automotive to technology. Companies heavily reliant on international supply chains are now grappling with increased costs and operational uncertainties.

And in the US, it has signaled a new phase of industrial policy.

The focus is no longer just about bringing jobs home; it’s about de-risking supply chains and reasserting control over critical technologies.

For many companies, the impact is immediate and jarring. Products that once flowed seamlessly through global logistics networks are now hitting customs with higher costs and compliance questions. Manufacturers are being forced to rethink everything from sourcing to final assembly.

But these same disruptions are also drawing a sharper line between firms that built resilience into their systems early—and those that didn’t. While some scramble to adjust, companies like Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ) are already operating in a way that makes the new rules nearly irrelevant.

A global pioneer in light and vision control technologies, Gauzy develops smart glass and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) used by leading brands across automotive, aerospace, architecture, and public transit. With over 1,300 customers in 60+ countries—including Boeing, Ferrari, and Ford—its technology powers dynamic cockpit shading, smart mobility systems, and sustainable building design, all backed by 146 issued patents and growing.

Navigating Tariff Turbulence with Strategic Manufacturing

Amidst this shifting trade environment, Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ) stands out for its proactive approach. The company has long invested in a diversified manufacturing footprint, including a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Melbourne, Florida, which serves its US clientele across sectors like architecture, automotive, and aeronautics.

“As a global manufacturer, Gauzy already serves its customers based on manufacturing locally in four of its production sites located in Israel, United States, France and Germany,” said Eyal Peso, CEO of Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ). “We serve the majority of our US customers from our Florida based production facility and continue to expand it as business requires. Since Gauzy produces its products with its Gauzy US subsidiaries, incorporated in the US– we expect practically no change to our normal course of business.”

Gauzy’s approach is neither fully domestic nor traditionally globalized. Instead, it operates a decentralized but fully proprietary manufacturing network spanning Israel, France, Germany, and the US. This allows the company to flex production capacity across markets—while maintaining regulatory compliance and logistical efficiency at a local level.

Gauzy‘s US operations are bolstered by its adherence to stringent quality standards, such as ISO9100 for aeronautics and IATF 16949:2016 for automotive, ensuring compliance and reliability. Furthermore, Israel, Gauzy’s headquarters, benefits from a Free Trade Agreement with the US, facilitating smoother trade relations.

It’s a structure built for the moment. As US-China tensions persist and trade policies grow more unpredictable, companies with regionally integrated supply chains—not just outsourced partners—are better positioned to adapt.

That structure has helped support Gauzy’s growth across sectors. In FY 2024, the company reported $103.5 million in revenue, up 32.8% year-over-year, with a record gross margin of 28.7%. The company also reported a total available liquidity of $40.6 million, including cash of $5.6 million and $35 million undrawn credit facility.

As trade policy continues to evolve and global tensions disrupt traditional supply chains, companies are being forced to confront a fundamental truth: operational resilience isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ) offers a timely example of what that resilience looks like in practice. With a globally distributed yet locally integrated manufacturing model, a strong foundation of quality certifications, and a diversified presence across critical industries, Gauzy isn’t just adapting to today’s trade environment—it was built for it.

Strategic Wins with Industry Leaders

Beyond its strong operational foundation, Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ) continues to solidify its role as a preferred partner for some of the world’s most iconic brands. In April 2025, the company announced that it has been selected by Air France to supply its electromechanical double-pleated shading system for the airline’s new five-window La Première first-class suites on Boeing 777 aircraft. As one of the most luxurious and technologically advanced first-class experiences in the sky, the decision reflects Gauzy’s growing dominance in the $600 million annual airline shading and lighting market—where the company already commands more than 95% of the cockpit shading segment.

Gauzy also just announced a high-profile collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, where the automaker integrated Gauzy’s dual SPD and PDLC smart glass stack into approximately 75% of its all-electric Vision V concept van, unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2025. The project marked the first time Mercedes has implemented both technologies in a single unit, reinforcing Gauzy’s position at the forefront of dynamic glass adoption in premium electric vehicles.

Together, these recent wins underscore a powerful trend: the world’s most prestigious and demanding OEMs—across aerospace and automotive—are not just testing Gauzy’s technology. They’re building it into the core of their next-generation designs.

In a time of global trade uncertainty, Gauzy’s high-value partnerships, diversified manufacturing, and unmatched innovation pipeline offer investors a rare combination of resilience, relevance, and rapid growth potential.
