Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the threat of increased tariffs by the U.S. on the EU is creating unprecedented uncertainty for industrial companies, particularly affecting order deliveries and investment decisions [1][3][4] - The machinery and industrial equipment sector accounts for approximately 20% of Italy's total exports to the U.S., making it the highest contributing industry [4] - The company, Sacmi Group, emphasizes that relocating production to the U.S. is impractical due to high investment costs and challenges related to labor costs and supply chain maturity [4][6] Group 2 - The unilateral trade protectionist policies of the U.S., especially the imposition of high tariffs, are disrupting global supply chains and forcing companies to adjust their sales strategies [7][9] - As a response to U.S. tariffs, the company has had to increase product prices for American customers, which ultimately harms those customers [7][9] - The complexity of the manufacturing process for highly customized products makes it unfeasible to produce entirely within one country to avoid tariffs [6]
