Brembo’s U.S. CEO Discusses His Concern Over Trump Trade

Dan Sandberg is CEO of Brembo North America, the U.S. arm of Italy-based Brembo SpA, one of the world’s leading automotive-brake suppliers, which has huge markets around the globe, significant manufacturing operations in several countries, and about 9,000 employees spread around a dozen or more nations.

“We’re operating in a global market and we’re somewhat distressed that the [Trump] administration doesn’t realize how global it is right now in the automotive sector,” Sandberg told Chief Executive. “This is a very large shift that he’s trying to accomplish, and there will be disruptions in some of the supply chains if the tariffs he imposes are spectacularly high.”
