Austin Engineering (ASX:ANG) has repositioned its US operations to avoid the impact of recent US tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, according to a Monday filing with the Australian bourse.

The company has developed a new supply chain route using Canadian contractors for truck tray sub-assemblies and has completed 10 truck body sub-assembly kits with two contractors, the filing said.

By shifting its truck body sub-assembly productions to Canada, the company has freed up capacity at its Casper, Wyoming facility to meet rising US demand, the company said.

This move follows Austin's decision to cease importing sub-assemblies from Mexico months ago, the company added.

The company also maintains contractor relationships in Mexico for potential regional supply needs while shifting production to Canada.
