Speaker:
Auggie Tantillo, President of SRG & Associates
In an era where every percentage point of cost matters, this session lifts
the veil on how tariffs, trade enforcement, and shifting global policies are
reshaping the economics of sourcing, printing, and apparel manufacturing.
Join Auggie Tantillo, one of Washington’s foremost textile and trade
strategists, for an incisive, action-oriented discussion tailored for brands,
retailers, decor businesses, and textile printers. He will translate federal
trade nuance into boardroom clarity — so you walk away not just
informed, but prepared.
Key takeaways your team will get:
- Specifics as to how the new U.S. tariff regime is constructed and how it
is impacting the textiles, print, and finished goods pipeline. - Today is Stage 1 of Tariffs agreements. Get ready for Stage 2 of
enforcement and the key factors that will help you survive. - A forward-looking framework for adjusting business plans, so rising
trade friction becomes a strategic differentiator, not a cost sinkhole.
In today’s volatile trade climate, brands, decorators, and textile printers
can’t treat tariffs as abstract policy noise — they’re profit levers and
vulnerability points. For many, margins are razor thin, and a surprise duty
or reclassification audit can shred ROI. This isn’t a theoretical talk about
global economics. It’s a practical, risk-managed playbook aimed at
companies who want to stay ahead, not just stay afloat.
