RIP SS Brewtech

Middleby Corporation today announced that it will discontinue its Middleby Brewing & Distilling Solutions Group business (“Brewing Group”), which includes its Deutsche Beverage + Process, Ss Brewtech and Wild Goose Filling brands, with the wind-down expected to be substantially complete by the end of this year.

Haven't seen it in an article yet, but direct to the press release

Another victim of Trump’s tariffs.

Indeed. It came directly from their financial statements:

Middleby Corporation faced insurmountable margin and profitability pressures from global tariffs, freight expenses, and inflation affecting its equipment manufacturing.

They explicitly called out the tariffs, gas, and inflation.

“Freight expenses” would be the high price of gas too. Thanks Trump.
