Doman Building Materials Group Ltd. Announces Response to the Recently Proposed U.S. Tariffs
28 November 2024 - 12:00AM
Doman Building Materials Group Ltd. (“Doman” or “the Company”)
(TSX:DBM) announced today its response to President elect Trump’s
proposed 25% tariffs on goods entering the United States from
Canada (the “Proposed US Tariffs”).
Although no material details were announced in
respect of the Proposed US Tariffs, the Company’s businesses in
each country generally operate independently. Accordingly, other
than any business already subject to Softwood Lumber duties, the
Company does not currently expect to be impacted materially by the
Proposed US Tariffs on goods imported to the United States from
Canada.
“Given the magnitude of President elect Trump’s
proposed tariffs and given our growing presence in Canada and even
more so in the US, we want to ensure that all of our stakeholders
are well informed that based on expectations today, our business
would not be impacted in a material way,” commented Amar S. Doman,
Chairman and CEO. “Given we run two self-sustaining businesses on
both sides of the border, with neither relying materially on the
other for products, we don’t anticipate an impact to our business
based on what has been proposed to date.”
