The following statement can be attributed to the Save Quartz Jobs coalition following President Donald Trump’s decision:
“Thousands of small businesses across the country, including fabricators that form the backbone of today’s U.S. quartz industry, are disappointed by the President’s decision to impose tariffs on imported quartz surface products. These unnecessary trade restrictions will reduce the supply of quartz available to the U.S. market, leave consumers and businesses with fewer choices, and raise prices for countertops, home renovations, and new housing. At a time when Americans are already struggling with housing affordability and rising living expenses, this decision will make homes and home improvement projects more expensive while placing additional strain on the small businesses that depend on access to a reliable and competitively priced supply of quartz.”
Save Quartz Jobs brings together the U.S. small businesses that measure, cut, fabricate, and install quartz surfaces every day — the companies that keep construction moving, support local economies, and help make high-quality kitchens and bathrooms accessible to millions of American families.
