Carlsbad, CA-based EMS provider Brightworks Technology Inc. has operated in Vietnam since 2007. “We made our original investment [there] and have been very happy with the results in terms of currency stability, worker availability, work ethic, the desire to learn, and the government cooperation with industry,” said Brightworks President Robert L. Carl. “We just recently made a second investment in South Vietnam with a new 10-acre campus.” Brightworks currently serves 50 U.S. customers from Vietnam. That number has grown in the wake of U.S. tariffs. Country-of-origin adjustments can help U.S. high-tech companies minimize geographical risks and mitigate the impact of tariffs. http://ow.ly/6x4J30pnIKx
