A Changing Trade Landscape

In 2025, the U.S. government implemented significant new import tariffs that now apply to a

broad range of goods. For Italian-manufactured products—including many in the pipe, valves, and fittings (PVF) industry—these duties reach up to 15%.

For Enolgas USA, with a proud Italian parent company known for precision engineering in

industrial valves and gas control systems, these changes affect not only our supply chain but the way we plan and operate in the U.S. market.

Direct Impact on Our Business

We import a large portion of our valve and PVF product lines from Italy, which means these

tariffs have a direct influence on our landed costs. The challenges include:

• Higher import duties on industrial valves, gas equipment, and fittings.

• Longer lead times due to additional customs inspections and classification reviews.

• Tighter margins in an already competitive PVF market.

Our Commitment: Protecting Our Prices

Despite these pressures, our priority is clear:

We are doing everything possible to keep our prices stable for our customers.

This commitment means absorbing part of the increased costs, optimizing operations, and

making strategic adjustments—so our clients can continue to rely on Enolgas USA for

competitive pricing without compromising on quality.

Strategic Actions We’re Taking

To uphold this commitment and navigate the new tariff environment, we have:

Optimized Logistics – Adjusting shipping schedules and freight options to reduce transit times and costs.
Reviewed Tariff Classifications – Ensuring our valves, gas control products, and fittings are accurately categorized to avoid unnecessary duties.
Explored Local Assembly Options – Assessing U.S.-based assembly or finishing to minimize tariff exposure.
Strengthened Supplier Collaboration – Working closely with our Italian parent company and partner manufacturers to streamline production and delivery.
Maintained Quality Standards – Keeping the engineering excellence and product reliability that define our brand.

The PVF Industry Impact

The PVF sector—critical to infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects—relies heavily on

high-performance valves and fittings from global manufacturers. With tariffs now part of the

equation, many in the industry are facing higher costs and potential project delays.

For Enolgas USA, the key is resilience: adapting our strategies while safeguarding the value we deliver to contractors, distributors, and end users.

Tariffs are a reality, but so is our determination to protect our customers from unnecessary

cost increases. We see this as an opportunity to improve efficiency, strengthen our supply chain, and reinforce our role as a trusted partner in the PVF industry.
