Navigating Tariff Challenges Together
At Crown, we know that exceptional quality, unparalleled service, and expert linen management aren’t just promises—they’re your expectations. As recent tariffs begin to impact certain imported goods and materials, we want to share how Crown is actively responding to minimize disruption and protect the value you rely on.
While the full scope of these tariffs is still unfolding, one thing remains certain: our commitment to you is unwavering. Our teams are working behind the scenes to ensure your service remains seamless, your linen quality is consistent, and your costs are controlled.
What We're Doing to Support You
Strategic Partnerships for Stability
- Our long-standing relationships with top-tier suppliers position us ahead of the curve. As a high-priority partner, Crown benefits from preferred access, pricing transparency, and supply reliability.
- We’ve proactively consolidated purchasing with trusted, large-scale suppliers to minimize volatility and maintain control over quality and cost.
Responsible Cost Management
- The tariff increases affect only a portion of our supply chain—not the entire pricing model.
- In many cases, our suppliers and their mills absorb a share of the cost increase, reducing the impact on Crown and our customers.
- Internally, we continue to identify operational efficiencies that allow us to offset costs without compromising the level of service and linen performance you expect.
Flexible, Resilient Supply Chain
- Our suppliers are diversifying production—such as expanding operations in Kenya—to limit exposure to impacted regions.
- We are carefully managing inventory and logistics to safeguard against supply interruptions.
Transparent, Responsive Communication
- Should you have questions or concerns, our team is ready to support you. We are committed to clear and timely updates as the situation evolves.
Our Commitment Remains
Market conditions may shift, but Crown’s focus remains the same: delivering peace of mind through reliable linen service. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership—we’re honored to serve you every day.
