Moog Music Downsizing Continues With Layoffs In Asheville

“Tariffs Are Seriously Harmful To American Businesses Like Moog”

In 2018, Moog warned that tariffs instituted as part of the Trump administration’s trade war with China would raise prices and could lead to jobs being moved overseas:

“These tariffs will immediately and drastically increase the cost of building our instruments, and have the very real potential of forcing us to lay off workers and could (in a worst case scenario) require us to move some, if not all, of our manufacturing overseas,” adding, “Tariffs are seriously harmful to American businesses like Moog.”

The tariffs added a 25% import tax on Chinese components used in synth manufacturing, but not on the import of complete synths. This meant that companies that manufacture in the U.S. have to pay a lot more for parts companies than that move their manufacturing overseas.

The Biden administration has left most of these trade tariffs in place.

Moog’s predictions have been borne out in the last five years. The company raised prices notably in 2022, saying at the time ““The ongoing global challenges of material shortages, supply chain limitations, inflation, as well as rising raw goods and shipping costs, have made it necessary to adjust some of our pricing. And now, InMusic appears to be moving the bulk of Moog’s manufacturing overseas.

Je déterre cette petite entrevue d'Arseniy Tokarev d'Elta Music, par Girts Ozolins d'Erica Synths, c'était en avril 2022

"I wasn't good with money".
Je peux en témoigner.

ELTA music - Unusual boutique synthesizers, effects pedal, modulars and devices from Riga, Latvia. ELTA music, a young boutique company, was founded in Moscow in 2017 by Arseniy Tokarev, a musician from Donetsk, Ukraine. ELTA is originally an acronym and stands for Electro Laboratory Tokarev Arseniy. Having started with guitar effects back in Donetsk, ELTA music moved on to synthesizers and is now developing in two directions. Today the company consists of several people, as well as independent developers, installers and musicians. After the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the company closed its office in Moscow and moved to Riga, Latvia. ELTA music works with the legend of Soviet musical synthesizer building - Vladimir Kuzmin (inventor of POLIVOX, MAESTRO, QUINTET and other instruments).​
