Warminster-based Gamry Instruments, which produces electrochemical instrumentation and accessories, is one of many Bucks County companies facing challenges related to tariffs, writes Tom Sofield for the New Hope Free Press.

Gamry Instruments’ products range from glucose sensors to corrosion testing systems for the U.S. Navy ship hulls. They are used across both consumer and industrial markets and are bought by businesses, government agencies, health care providers and research universities around the world. About 40 percent of its sales are domestic, with the remainder coming from international markets.

The company employs around 65 people and maintains offices in China and Italy. While there have been no major cuts due to the tariffs, business has slowed and some costs have risen.

According to co-founder Max Yaffe, the company’s sales are down 30 percent, and it will most likely get worse.

Tariffs have caused the company to pause its operations in China, added Chris Beasley, the firm’s sales and marketing director.

“It’s gone overnight because of the tariffs,” he said.

He noted that customers are turning to competitors due to the tariffs, and the longer they continue, the harder it will be to win that business back.
