Sartorius cuts revenue by €26 million to refund US Trump tariffs to customers

Sartorius announced a reduction in its revenue by €26 million as it refunds tariffs imposed under the Trump administration to its customers.

The refunds stem from a recent US Supreme Court ruling that blocked certain tariffs, making the company return the charges it had previously passed on.

This is the first time a life-science supplier has disclosed the financial impact of the tariff refunds, highlighting how trade policy changes can affect the sector's earnings.

Sartorius said the adjustment will be reflected in its upcoming financial statements, but it expects the refunds to maintain customer relationships amid ongoing trade uncertainties.
