Unity Automotive Executes Exclusive Partnership moving all production to Thailand Amid Looming U.S. Tariff Hikes and the ensuing China trade war
Unity Automotive, a prominent North American manufacturer of suspension parts, is making headlines with its decision to relocate production operations
to Thailand. The strategic move comes as former President Donald Trump proposes a dramatic increase in tariffs on goods imported from China, raising them
to as high as 60%.
By shifting production to Thailand, a country not currently subject to these tariffs, Unity Automotive aims to maintain its
competitive pricing structure while enhancing product quality, a hallmark of the company’s reputation in the industry.
Avoiding the Tariff Burden
The proposed tariff increase would mark one of the steepest hikes in recent years, directly impacting manufacturers with global supply chains. For Unity Automotive,
the shift to Thailand represents a proactive response to the potential financial strain such tariffs could impose.
“Staying ahead of these tariffs is crucial for our business and our customers,” said Jeff Perusse, VP of Business Development at Unity Automotive.
“By relocating to Thailand, we’re not just avoiding added costs—we’re ensuring that we continue to deliver premium-quality suspension parts at the prices our customers expect.”
Secure Your Supply Chain: Partner with Unity Automotive
With the proposed tariff increases looming, there has never been a better time for prospective customers to partner with Unity Automotive. As other suppliers face rising costs due to the anticipated 60% tariff hike, Unity Automotive's relocation to Thailand ensures that we remain unaffected, allowing us to offer premium suspension parts at competitive prices. By making the switch now, customers can lock in cost-effective solutions and avoid the inevitable price hikes that will hit the market as tariffs take effect. Don’t wait until it’s too late—secure your supply chain and your bottom line with Unity Automotive today.
Thailand’s Advantage: Quality and Cost Efficiency
Thailand has emerged as a global hub for automotive manufacturing, thanks to its skilled workforce, advanced production facilities, and robust quality assurance standards.
Unity Automotive is leveraging these strengths to ensure its suspension parts meet and exceed industry expectations.
“Thailand offers a unique combination of zero-tariff advantages and exceptional production quality,” Jeff Perusse added.
“This move aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver superior products while navigating the challenges of a shifting global trade landscape.”
What This Means for Customers
For Unity Automotive’s customers—ranging from small warehouse operations to large-scale distributors—the relocation has been seamless. By maintaining cost-effective production, the company aims to avoid passing on tariff-related costs to consumers, ensuring that prices remain stable despite geopolitical uncertainties.
Looking Forward
Unity Automotive’s decision reflects a forward-thinking approach in a competitive market. By prioritizing both quality and affordability,
the company is positioning itself for long-term success while safeguarding its relationships with customers and stakeholders.
As the automotive industry continues to navigate a complex trade environment, Unity Automotive remains committed to innovation, excellence,
and delivering suspension parts that keep drivers on the road safely and reliably.
Products Unity offers include complete strut assemblies, shock absorbers, widest coverage of conversion kits in the market
(converting electronic and air suspension to standard suspension), air springs, air struts, compressors, and more.
Offering full range of services, including direct container program, private branding, full range of inventory centrally located in northern Kentucky,
streamlined special order fulfillment, and e-commerce solutions, we have a program to suit your needs.

Unity Gives Back
This month, Unity Automotive gave back to the community by donating more than 500,000 KN-95 masks to local organizations in Palm Beach County, Florida. Controller Krishna Ramnanan and Vice President of Sales Jeff Perusse were featured in a local publication during one of the donations. Ramnanan said, “We just want to do what we can to stop the spread of COVID-19.” .
