Reinders Distribution Update
Navigating Tariff Changes Together
As your trusted partner, Reinders is committed to keeping you informed and working together to navigate ongoing changes and uncertainties that may impact your business.
Recently announced tariff increases on select imported goods are expected to have ripple effects across the green industry, potentially influencing product availability, pricing, and sourcing decisions.
We are engaging with vendors to navigate cost changes and keep customer impact to a minimum. We want to be transparent about what we know, what we’re doing, and how we plan to support you.
Our Commitment
Reinders has weathered plenty of industry changes in our 150+ years, and our focus remains the same: care for our customers. We’re committed to minimizing the impact of current tariffs, controlling costs, and keeping pricing fair—while continuing to deliver the quality products and dependable service you rely on.
As the situation evolves, we’ll keep you informed. If you have questions about how this may affect your orders or pricing, please contact your local Reinders representative.
What’s Changing
There are newly implemented or increased tariffs on various imported materials and components, many of which are used in irrigation, lighting, turf care, equipment, and landscape products.
While not all vendors or product lines will be affected equally, certain categories may experience cost increases or supply chain disruptions in the coming months.
What This Means for You
Pricing Pressures
Some product categories may see incremental price increases as manufacturers and suppliers respond to rising costs.
Product Availability
Shifts in sourcing strategies and lead times may result in longer waits or limited inventory for certain items.
Supplier Communications
We anticipate many vendors will begin announcing price adjustments throughout the season. We will continue to monitor and communicate these updates as they come.
What Reinders is Doing
Advocating for Our Customers
We’re in regular communication with suppliers and manufacturers to understand how they’re approaching these changes and to advocate for pricing strategies that minimize disruption to your business.
Stocking Strategically
Our team is working ahead to secure inventory on high-demand items where possible, helping to ensure product availability during peak season.

We’re committed to providing you with timely, relevant information. If and when vendor pricing changes are confirmed, we’ll pass that information along through your Reinders rep, our website, and other channels.
