Electrolux Assembly Plant Applies for Tariff Exemption
ANDERSON, SC—Electrolux, which is in the process of expanding its refrigerator assembly plant here, has applied for an exemption to the tariffs being imposed on products from China.
John McAlister, director of government affairs at Electrolux, said the company has been given no timetable for consideration of the request. The company is facing higher costs from U.S.-made steel and from additional duties on imported goods.
