Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on your current tariff exposure and the steps you're taking to mitigate the impact? A: Paul Keel, President and CEO, explained that the main tariff exposure areas are US goods imported into China and Chinese goods imported into the US. To mitigate this, Envista is shifting some of its China supply from the US to Sweden and expects suppliers to manage tariff impacts themselves. Additionally, Envista is qualifying new suppliers to enhance supply chain resilience.
