Since that time, the U.S. has imposed tariffs on $3 billion of Chinese steel and aluminum and has proposed tariffs on an additional $16 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher said their decision to relocate their Chicago factories to Juarez, Mexico, came shortly after Trump announced his first set of tariffs. Both factories will close, affecting 153 jobs in manufacturing, warehouse, and administration. Office staff will have the opportunity to relocate to El Paso, Texas, across the border from the Juarez plant. Engineering and sales and marketing employees will be retained and relocated within the Chicago area, Fletcher told the Tribune.<\/p>\n<p>Stack-On already operates a plant in Mexico and another in China.<\/p>\n<p>The firearms industry has been largely silent on how Trump\u2019s metal tariffs might affect business.

Trade organizations like the National Shooting Sports Foundation have thus far declined to choose between criticizing a pro-gun president and supporting policies that might cause gun manufacturers to raise prices.<\/p>\n<p>The NSSF told GunsAmerica via email that tariff discussion in the gun industry has so far been limited, and they haven&#8217;t taken an official stance on this issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe operation is really not profitable,\u201d said Al Fletcher, human resources director for Stack-On\u2019s parent company, Alpha Guardian. \u201cMr. Trump is part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":95725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,593,240],"tags":[132,617,1205],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-95724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry-news","8":"category-jordan-michaels","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-industry-news","12":"tag-stack-on"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Stack-On Closes Two Chicago Factories, Blames Trump Tariffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Prominent gun safe manufacturer Stack-On has closed its only two US factories and is moving operations to Mexico.
