Why Kardex Introduces the QuickShip Program in the US

Kardex Remstar has announced a new QuickShip program designed to deliver standard‐sized Kardex Shuttle vertical lift modules (VLMs) in the United States with significantly shortened lead times and stable pricing despite escalating import tariffs.

Fast Lead Times and Tariff Protection

The QuickShip initiative offers delivery times of just 4 to 6 weeks for selected VLM models manufactured at Kardex’s U.S. facility in South Carolina. Additionally, the program guarantees that no price increases will apply due to tariffs on imported components, providing customers with cost certainty and speed.

U.S. Manufacturing and Supply Chain Resilience

Approximately 85 % of VLM components used in the U.S. plant are sourced domestically, helping to mitigate the effects of overseas tariffs and global supply‑chain disruptions. This strong local sourcing position supports the goal of tariff‑proof delivery and reinforces production reliability.

Business and Operational Benefits for Customers

For companies seeking to modernise their warehouse operations, this program means faster access to high‑density storage solutions, reduced labour strain, greater system scalability and avoidance of the cost inflation that many competitors face.

Strategic Implications for the Intralogistics Market

By reshoring a substantial portion of its production and offering accelerated delivery and stable pricing, Kardex positions itself as a robust partner for firms focused on intralogistics automation. The QuickShip program reflects broader industry trends toward near‑shore manufacturing, modular storage systems and improved responsiveness to market volatility.
