Brighton-Best International (BBI) announced a price increase in March to counteract the impact of rising U.S. tariffs, Fastener World reports.

A subsidiary of Taiwan-based Ta Chen International, BBI has over 90% of sales concentrated in the North American market.

Following the price adjustment, BBI’s gross margin improved to 39% in April to May, up from 33.5% in the opening quarter of 2025, while shipments are forecasted to grow by 2-4% this year.

BBl reported Q1 revenue rose 3% to NT$5.878 billion (US$200.8 million), with net profit after tax climbing 32% to NT$766 million.

“The company remains optimistic about its operational performance for the year, driven by both volume and price increases,” Fastener World reports.
