What happened
Quark Baby, a company specializing in baby-feeding technology and accessories, is based in Canada and has a significant presence in the United States, where 90% of its business is conducted. The company manufactures products in China, but the founder stated that tariffs have been a major operational shock. To mitigate this, Quark Baby is moving production to Korea, citing its high-quality manufacturing base and available free-trade agreements.
