这位企业家发现,美国制造业根本离不开中国供应链
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-12 13:03
Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the challenges and realities faced by companies attempting to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing, emphasizing that despite geopolitical tensions and tariffs, China remains a dominant player in the manufacturing sector, particularly in medical supplies [1][10][12]. Group 1: Historical Context and Strategic Shifts - In the early 2000s, Dealmed sourced only about 15% of its products from China, primarily basic supplies, as Chinese manufacturing quality was not up to par with U.S. and European standards [2][3]. - In 2014, Dealmed transitioned from being a pure distributor to also becoming a manufacturer, outsourcing production to Chinese factories, which allowed the company to increase its profit margins [3][4]. - By 2018, 80% of Dealmed's outsourced products were imported from China, with sales from Chinese products accounting for 45% of total revenue [3][4]. Group 2: Impact of Tariffs and Supply Chain Adjustments - The U.S.-China trade war initiated by Trump led to significant tariffs on Chinese medical exports, with a 10% tariff imposed in September 2019 and increased to 25% in 2020, impacting a substantial portion of Dealmed's imports [3][4]. - In response to tariffs, Dealmed began sourcing surgical materials from the U.S. and shifted glove production to Malaysia, while also exploring suppliers in Mexico, Canada, Vietnam, and India [4][5]. - By the end of 2019, the share of products imported from China had decreased to 15%, down from a peak of 45% two years prior [4][5]. Group 3: Pandemic Effects and Market Dynamics - The COVID-19 pandemic initially benefited Dealmed as it diversified its supply chain, allowing it to capture more orders from clinics while competitors struggled with reliance on Chinese suppliers [5][6]. - However, as Chinese manufacturers resumed production, Dealmed faced challenges with rising prices for medical supplies, with the cost of masks increasing sevenfold during the pandemic [6][7]. - Despite the initial success of diversifying supply chains, the post-pandemic market saw a shift back to price sensitivity, diminishing the perceived value of diversified sourcing [6][7]. Group 4: Current Manufacturing Landscape - By 2024, despite ongoing tariffs, Dealmed found that prices for Chinese products remained competitive, and the company continued to rely heavily on Chinese suppliers for many products [9][10]. - The article notes that the manufacturing capabilities of Chinese companies have significantly improved, with increased investment in automation and product quality, making them hard to replace [7][10]. - Dealmed's revenue from Chinese products has rebounded to over 40%, matching levels seen in 2018, indicating a strong reliance on Chinese manufacturing despite geopolitical tensions [11][12].

白宫屋顶安装星链系统,外界认为这会引发安全威胁
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-12 13:03
图片来源:Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images 据报道,埃隆·马斯克的政府效率部团队不顾政府安全专家的反对,在白宫屋顶安装了星链卫星互联网 系统。 据《华盛顿邮报》报道,白宫通信专家对该卫星互联网系统的安装提出了国家安全方面的担忧。 据报道,当时安装工作还引发了政府效率部员工与特勤局之间的对峙。 马斯克政府效率部团队的员工于今年二月在艾森豪威尔行政办公大楼屋顶安装了星链终端,且未事先告 知白宫通信团队。 安全隐患 有三位消息人士告诉《华盛顿邮报》,该设备支持通过星链访问互联网,但缺乏标准的追踪或身份验证 安全措施,这可能导致白宫面临数据泄露或黑客攻击的风险。 与其他政府Wi-Fi系统不同,"星链访客"Wi-Fi仅需密码即可连接,无需通常的用户名或双因素认证。报 道称,星链提供的网络连接可能允许设备绕过安全措施、规避监控并传输无法追踪的数据。 在马斯克离任并与唐纳德·特朗普公开决裂之后,尚不清楚白宫是否仍安装有星链终端,但据报道该卫 星互联网系统也已在其他政府机构使用。 白宫代表未立即回应《财富》杂志的置评请求。 然而,特勤局发言人安东尼·古列尔米对《华盛顿邮报》表示:"我们知晓政 ...

并购并非大公司的专利,小型公司也可以利用并购拓展业务
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-11 12:56
图片来源:Courtesy of Armis 数十年来,并购一直被视为全球最大公司的专属领域。长期以来,微软(Microsoft)和Alphabet等科技 巨头都将并购交易作为拓展业务范围和增强实力的战略杠杆。例如,仅2024年初以来,英伟达 (Nvidia)就完成了六笔收购。其逻辑显而易见:这些公司拥有充足的资本和基础设施来应对复杂的尽 职调查与整合流程,他们深知通过并购能够带来巨大的收益,如收入加速增长、市场份额扩大、获取新 技术等。 关键在于,并购并非捷径,也并非万无一失。但如果运用得当,它可以成为倍增器——不仅仅是人才、 产品或市场覆盖面的倍增,还能增强公司的发展势头。对于我们这种小型公司而言,并购是拓展既有优 势、更快响应客户不断变化需求的一种方式。其意义不在于效仿《财富》美国500强公司的策略,而在 于做出精准决策,让我们能够按照自己的方式发展壮大,并真正为客户创造价值。(财富中文网) 本文作者叶夫根尼 · 迪布罗夫为 Armis 公司首席执行官兼联合创始人。 对于规模远小于《财富》美国500强的公司而言,情况则截然不同。团队规模较小、运营更为精简的新 兴公司,大多专注于核心业务的扩张,而非在市场 ...

iPhone能否实现“美国制造”?
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-10 12:55
Core Viewpoint - Purism's CEO Todd Weaver argues that it is feasible for companies to manufacture smartphones in the U.S. with costs comparable to Asian production, challenging the long-held belief that U.S. production is logistically impossible and prohibitively expensive [1][3]. Group 1: Company Overview - Purism is one of the few companies assembling smartphones in the U.S., with its flagship product, the Liberty Phone, emphasizing its "Made in America" identity [1]. - The company has been profitable for the past two years, providing a real-world example of U.S. smartphone manufacturing amidst political discussions [1]. Group 2: Market Context - President Trump has pressured Apple to shift some production back to the U.S., threatening tariffs on imported iPhones [2][3]. - Apple has historically assembled iPhones overseas, primarily in China, and has not indicated plans to move production to the U.S. [3]. Group 3: Production Costs - Weaver states that the manufacturing costs for Purism's U.S.-made phone are approximately $650, while the China-made version costs around $600, indicating a cost difference of about 10% [7][8]. - The pricing strategy for the Liberty Phone reflects a higher profit margin due to its U.S. manufacturing and the target market's willingness to pay for enhanced security features [8]. Group 4: Security and Privacy Features - Purism's devices are designed with a focus on security and privacy, featuring a Linux-based open-source operating system and physical switches to disconnect various functionalities [6]. - The company targets government agencies and security-conscious consumers, highlighting its commitment to safeguarding against potential foreign tampering [6]. Group 5: Challenges in U.S. Manufacturing - Weaver notes the significant skills gap in the U.S. compared to China, where a large pool of skilled labor exists for electronics manufacturing [9]. - The establishment of a domestic supply chain took years for Purism, and scaling up production to meet demand would require substantial time and investment in workforce training [11]. Group 6: Future Outlook - Weaver believes that if given sufficient time, companies like Apple could develop new supply chains and reduce costs for U.S. production [12]. - Purism aims to expand its market presence, particularly targeting niche segments such as government and military, while seeking additional funding to enhance its product offerings [14].
