2025 Behind Us, the Future Ahead

As 2025 comes to a close, it is a meaningful moment for us at Boma to reflect on the year behind us and to share an honest summary with our customers and long-term business. This past year was shaped by uncertainty, adjustment, and cooperation, but also by recovery and renewed confidence.

Early 2025: Tariff Pressure and Disrupted Shipments

The beginning of 2025 was challenging for many companies involved in international trade, and the ceramic sink industry was no exception. During this period, the United States imposed several rounds of tariffs on Chinese imports, with rates reaching extremely high levels at certain points. These tariff pressures directly affected purchasing decisions, pricing structures, and shipment schedules, creating uncertainty across the supply chain.
For Boma, the impact was immediate. Several shipments planned for the early months of the year were delayed, and some orders were postponed or canceled altogether as customers reassessed costs and timelines. Production plans had to be adjusted carefully to respond to these sudden changes.

Staying Connected During Uncertainty

During this period, our team remained closely aligned with our North American customers. Tariff developments were not just a business topic for our clients; they were also a daily concern for our factory team. From sales coordination to production planning, we stayed in frequent communication to exchange information, explore options, and seek workable solutions together.
Rather than reducing contact during a difficult period, we chose to strengthen it. Regular updates, transparent discussions, and realistic planning helped both sides manage risk and maintain trust, even when conditions were unpredictable.

June 2025: A Turning Point

By mid-year, market conditions began to stabilize as trade dialogue between China and the United States showed signs of progress, including outcomes from economic discussions held in Geneva. In June, Boma's outbound volume reached its highest level since the end of the pandemic. This milestone reflected not only recovering demand but also the resilience of long-term cooperation.
Orders that had been delayed gradually resumed, and production lines returned to a more consistent rhythm. For our factory team, June was a clear signal that patience, communication, and steady execution matter, especially in times of uncertainty.

What This Year Reinforced for Us

The experience of 2025 reinforced several fundamental principles in how we operate as a ceramic sink manufacturer. International trade conditions can shift quickly, making long-term planning and disciplined execution essential. Throughout the year, it became clear that stable manufacturing processes must be supported by realistic scheduling and flexible coordination.
At the same time, consistent and transparent communication proved to be just as critical as production capacity. By staying responsive and aligned with our customers during periods of uncertainty, we were able to maintain operational stability and strengthen mutual understanding, which remains the foundation of long-term cooperation.

Looking Ahead Together

As we move forward, we remain optimistic. Market conditions continue to evolve, but demand for reliable ceramic sink supply, stable production, and dependable cooperation remains constant.
Boma will continue focusing on controlled manufacturing processes, predictable lead times, and responsive communication. More importantly, we look ahead with appreciation for the customers who stayed engaged, flexible, and forward-looking throughout 2025.
We believe the future is built not only on products, but on shared understanding and long-term cooperation. Thank you for moving through this year with us. We look forward to continuing the journey together.
