Abbotsford, BC – February 03, 2025

Steep Hill Equipment, a trusted leader in industrial food processing and packaging equipment, announces that it will not pass the newly imposed 25% tariff on imported equipment to its U.S. customers. Instead, the company will absorb the cost to ensure businesses across America continue to have access to affordable, high-quality machinery. Steep Hill Equipment will offer this for a six month period, if the tariff does in fact go through. 


“As a company deeply rooted in both the U.S. and Canada, we value our relationships and partners in the American food industry and in Canada,” said Brent Larsen CEO of Steep Hill Equipment. “We understand the challenges businesses face, and we refuse to let tariffs stand in the way of their success. This may hurt margins short term but we need time for USA customers to adjust to the potential change. Our commitment is to provide the same competitive pricing and exceptional service our customers have come to expect.”


With locations in Edmond, Oklahoma, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Steep Hill has built a reputation for delivering cost-effective solutions to food manufacturers and processors. By absorbing the tariff, the company aims to shield its customers from unnecessary financial strain and keep operations running smoothly across the industry.
