3 Reasons We’re Proud to be a Small Business

Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

We’re proud to be part of that group.

A Letter in Response to Steel & Aluminum Import Tariffs

Dear Fusion Tech Customers,

As you have heard, President Trump has finalized the tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. As of Friday, March 23, 2018 a 25% tariff on imported steel and 10% tariff on imported aluminum has been implemented.

A large majority of Fusion Tech’s base materials, including filler materials, have been and will be affected by these tariffs.

Due to the vast uncertainty surrounding new pricing and how it will affect the market, our vendors will no longer adhere to the practice of notifying us of price increases, nor will they be able to honor any previously agreed upon price contracts. We have no control of this price dynamic. We will be forced to pass along these increases as we get them.

How does this affect you?

  • We have changed the valid period on all quotes sent out after March 23 from 2 weeks down to 3 days.
  • Pricing may change upon receipt of a purchase order, depending on fluctuating materials pricing

This will not affect purchase orders that have already been submitted prior to March 23, 2018.

Fusion Tech will continue to communicate the pricing changes as soon as we are notified. We greatly appreciate your business and patience during this time.

Thank you,

Fusion Tech Staff

Fusion Tech Makes A Donation To Homes For Our Troops

Fusion Tech, with the help of clients and email newsletter subscribers, made a 2017 year-end donation of $10,000 to Homes for our Troops.

“Last year, we started a new tradition that we were happy to continue. Rather than send out Christmas cards to clients that just end up in recycling bins, we would use that money to help those in need — and donate to a reputable charity that our clients and email newsletter subscribers voted on,” said Marketing Director Jason Vana.

3 Amazing Charities You Can Choose From to Receive a Donation

Last year, we started a new holiday tradition here at Fusion Tech that quickly became a customer and employee favorite.

Rather than send out Christmas cards that eventually get thrown away, we take the money we would spend on printing and postage, add some to it, and donate that money to a deserving, amazing charity.

Charities are helped. Trees are saved. And lives are changed.

The best part: we let you, our customers and friends, choose which charity receives the donation!

All you have to do is be subscribed to our newsletter by the end of the day on Tuesday, December 19 to ensure you receive the voting email on Wednesday, December 20!
