Bluesky Footwear Group Explores Supply Chain Opportunities in Egypt to Mitigate US Tariff Impact
In March 2025, amid ongoing efforts to navigate and mitigate the complexities of American tariffs, Jerry, the General Manager of Bluesky Footwear Group, accompanied by Mars, the company's Director of Strategic Partnerships, embarked on a pivotal journey to New Cairo, Egypt. This strategic move was driven by the duo's vision to explore regions with lower or even zero-tariff structures, aiming to forge new supply chain partnerships that could enhance the company's global competitiveness and operational efficiency.
During their visit, Jerry and Mars dedicated their time to meticulously examining and evaluating over a dozen factories in the area. Their due diligence covered various aspects, including production capacity, quality control, labor conditions, and compliance with international standards. The duo engaged in in-depth discussions with factory owners and local business leaders, exploring potential collaboration models that would be mutually beneficial.
This initiative underscores Bluesky Footwear Group's proactive approach to global trade challenges. By diversifying its supply chain network into regions with more favorable tariff conditions, the company aims to reduce production costs, shorten delivery times, and ultimately deliver greater value to its clients worldwide. The exploration of Egypt's manufacturing landscape also aligns with the company's broader strategy of building a resilient and agile supply chain that can adapt swiftly to changing market dynamics and geopolitical landscapes.
As discussions are currently underway, Bluesky Footwear Group remains optimistic about the potential outcomes of these partnerships. The company is committed to maintaining the same high standards of quality and sustainability that it has upheld throughout its decade-long journey in the footwear industry.
