While concerns over tariffs have long been a factor in the industry's global supply chain, it appears that these iconic brands are now motivated by a desire to meet growing demand and stay competitive in the face of increasing global competition. As the US market continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether this expansion will breathe new life into a sector that has been struggling to regain its former momentum.
