Casambi Stands Strong Amid Tariff Disruptions with American-Made Solutions

By Peter Augusta, General Manager, North America

As shifting global trade policies continue to challenge supply chains, new tariffs on imported goods are hitting U.S. manufacturing and construction sectors hard. For many, this creates uncertainty, cost inflation, and project delays. But not for everyone. At Casambi, we’re proud to offer a resilient, flexible lighting control solution—one that’s not only wireless and software-driven, but increasingly American-made.

Software-first, tariff-resistant

Casambi’s wireless control platform is uniquely positioned to weather global headwinds. Unlike traditional systems that rely on heavy, hardware-centric infrastructure, our architecture is software-first and hardware-light.

Because our software is electronically delivered and operates independently of physical control hardware such as servers, gateways, hubs, and their associated infrastructure— gang boxes, conduit, wire, and pipe.  This makes it immune to tariff increases and easier to deploy.

The result? Simpler installations, fewer dependencies, and lower overall system costs—even during periods of tariff volatility.

Built for disruption-resilience

As our CEO, Mark McClear said to me recently, “Casambi is built for moments like this.” He’s right. When external forces disrupt the market, Casambi provides the flexibility our customers need to adapt, stay on schedule, and deliver—without compromising on quality or performance. We’ve proven our resilience in turbulent times before, including the pandemic, and we’re rising to the occasion once again.

Strength in ecosystem and local supply

Casambi’s global ecosystem of partners offers redundancy across components and sourcing locations. This ensures our customers aren’t locked into a single supplier or country of origin. It’s one of the many benefits of our open and interoperable platform.

And here in the U.S., more Casambi partners are ramping up local production and assembly, giving customers the choice to go fully American-made—while still benefiting from Casambi’s globally trusted technology.

Build with confidence

In a time of global disruption, Casambi gives lighting professionals the tools they need to stay agile and deliver without delays. Whether your project calls for tariff-proof design, simplified deployment, or locally sourced components, Casambi is ready.

Build with confidence. Build with Casambi.
