Geophysics Company Targets Growth as It Launches New North Wales HQ
Borehole geophysics technology leader Robertson Geo has officially opened its new headquarters, bringing all UK operations under one roof and marking a major step in the company's continued expansion. The move to Tre Morfa Enterprise Park in Conwy from sites in Deganwy and Llandudno follows sustained growth for the award-winning business, which serves customers in more than 160 countries and operates from additional bases in the US and Hong Kong. The new 20,500 square-foot facility features a purpose-built manufacturing facility, modern offices, a training hub, and a world-class calibration centre that will serve as a standard-setter for the markets they support — including the renewables, geotechnical, offshore wind, mining, energy, and environmental sectors. The interior has Japanese and Welsh influences including Bonsai trees, slate from local quarries, a Kaizen 'ideas wall' and bespoke, tailored details marrying industry and contemporary design. The firm plans to expand further within the park to accommodate its growing Robertson Geo Services team. Speaking at the launch, Managing Director Simon Garantini welcomed guests and thanked partners and staff: 'It's emotional leaving our previous premises after more than 45 years, but this move marks the start of an exciting new chapter. 'The new headquarters gives us the space and facilities to realise our ambitions, collaborate more effectively, and continue innovating at the forefront of our industry. 'Our team has grown, international demand is increasing — especially in the US and Asia — and we're now well-positioned to steadily double both our headcount and sales revenue.' The new HQ will also be home to the RG Academy, a global training centre to host bespoke programmes and welcome delegates from across the borehole geophysical and petrophysical logging arena to North Wales. Guests at the event included Cllr Emily Owen, Deputy Leader of Conwy County Council, Bangor Aberconwy MP Claire Hughes, and senior representatives from OYO Corporation of Japan, Robertson Geo's majority shareholder. At the event, Hirofumi Amano, President and CEO of OYO Corporation, presented Simon with a framed copy of The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. He said: 'This is a very big, beautiful building and will be a wonderful place to work for everyone at Robertson Geo. 'The picture we presented is a symbol of this company – how the crew and the boat will sail into the blue ocean and expand their horizons. We look forward to visiting again soon.' Claire Hughes MP said the commitment of Robertson GEO to Conwy was a boost for the local economy: 'This is a hugely impressive development for the area and a great example of a business with global reach choosing to invest in North Wales. 'With the company creating highly skilled jobs, exporting worldwide, and now training the next generation here in Conwy, it's a win for the whole region. That it coincides with the Year of Wales and Japan makes it even more special.' Cllr Owen added: 'This is really exciting for the area. To have a company making such strides globally and choosing to remain rooted in Conwy is fantastic – it's creating skilled jobs, supporting our economy, and flying the flag for Wales.' Emily Gleaves, Director of Abundant Properties, oversaw the build alongside MD Interior Fitout Specialists. Both based in Wirral, they collaborate on projects nationwide. 'This was a real partnership project from day one, and we're proud of the result. The feedback has been amazing, it's a building that reflects Robertson Geo's identity and gives its people a space to thrive,' she said. 'The way the staff in particular have embraced it and the looks on their faces when they saw the finished article was a great feeling.'

Trump's Japan trade deal doesn't even help US car companies
President Donald Trump's latest trade deal with Japan serves to demonstrate how little administration officials actually understands what they are doing in the trade policy arena. Tariffs are bad policy - and Trump's tariffs are being implemented in the most chaotic manner possible. Trump's trade policy doesn't even give US car companies a leg up Proponents of tariffs love to claim that their policies will incentivize domestic production, but the reality is that they add additional burdens to domestic producers. The Japanese trade agreement spans many sectors, but this idea can be seen clearly in the automotive industry. American car manufacturers are charged tariffs of 25% on imported parts and 50% on imported aluminum and steel. The costs of tariffs on importing components and raw materials essential to vehicles only serve to drive up production costs for those companies doing what Trump wants, building in America. Opinion: Republicans accused Biden of trying to bribe voters. Now they're doing the same. These tariffs have already collectively cost domestic producers billions of dollars. Ford alone lost $800 million to tariffs in the second quarter and expects to lose $2 billion this year. Ford has rather admirably taken on a great portion of the costs of these tariffs themselves rather than raising prices, but because of that, tariff policies have resulted in Ford's first quarterly loss in two years. That isn't sustainable. Opinion alerts: Get columns from your favorite columnists + expert analysis on top issues, delivered straight to your device through the USA TODAY app. Don't have the app? Download it for free from your app store. Not only are these tariffs costing domestic producers money, but they are also disadvantaging them against foreign competition. Japanese car companies face a tariff of just 15%, thereby further incentivizing the import of Japanese cars over domestic production. This rate is also notably lower than the 25% rate on vehicles coming from Mexico and Canada, both of which produce vehicles for American car companies. There's an even greater irony in that fact because Japanese manufacturers, such as Toyota, have announced expansions to their already existing U.S.-based manufacturing plants. It turns out that continuing production in Japan will be better. Tariffs are bad - but Trump's aren't even doing what he claims The backward effects that tariffs are having on domestic car production are a perfect example of how dysfunctional this administration's policy is on the issue. Even the tariffs that are put into effect don't achieve what they purport to. Opinion: I'll never have a car payment. Here's my secret. In the case of cars, they are doing the opposite, giving manufacturers from a foreign nation an artificial leg up over American ones. In this case, the disparity is a result of negotiated deals taking place at different times. Trump is rewarding Japan by coming around to make a deal before both Mexico and Canada. Another area of concern is the sudden and unexpected shock of tariffs, often with little advance notice to the impacted industries. Tariffs don't make sense, but they make even less sense when there is no phase in the window in which companies can change their manufacturing practices to avoid them. Nor can any company be faulted for not rapidly changing any of their practices, given the fact that Trump's tariff policies have changed by the week, or sometimes even by the day. The volatile nature of these policies has made it impossible for any affected parties to make reasonable decisions going forward. This administration's dysfunctional approach to tariffs has resulted in a headache for everyone involved. While everyone suffers, domestic producers end up getting the short end of the stick. None of this is good. Dace Potas is an opinion columnist for USA TODAY and a graduate of DePaul University with a degree in political science.
