“We have carefully assessed the impact that the new tariffs will have on NAV-TV products and, although component costs have been affected, we have decided that, short of a global financial crisis, to maintain all current Dealer, Retail and MAP pricing through 2019,” stated NAV-TV CEO Moni Melman.

NAV-TV currently offers over 900 different aftermarket automotive integration products, of which approximately 90 percent are built in the USA on their SMT production lines. Ahead of the new tariff announcement, NAV-TV and their solely-owned in-house contract manufacturing division, Federal Electron, heavily invested in two additional state-of-the-art SMT production lines, increasing manufacturing throughput by over 40 percent.

Although we cannot compensate for the tariff impacted rising costs of materials and components, we are pleased to offer competitive, high-quality contract manufacturing services to companies looking to move electronic PCB manufacturing back to the USA. NAV-TV has reinvested in our manufacturing capabilities year-after-year, we have the manufacturing capability, experience, personnel and bandwidth, and are in a position to assist other US based companies in their time of need and beyond,” Melman said.
