Current Tariffs Pose Little-to-No Threat to ScanTech AI’s Core Business, Company Confirms

Diversified Sourcing and Strategic Planning Help Shield ScanTech AI from Supply Chain Disruptions

/EIN News/ -- Atlanta, GA, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScanTech AI Systems Inc.(Nasdaq: STAI) (“ScanTech AI” or the “Company”), a pioneer in non-intrusive, fixed-gantry CT screening technologies, today states that it believes, that its core business operations remain unaffected by the latest import tariff policies instituted by the United States, citing a resilient supply chain and diversified sourcing model as key advantages in navigating global trade disruptions.

“We designed our operational model to absorb shocks like these,” said Dolan Falconer, Chief Executive Officer of ScanTech AI. “Tariff shifts may disrupt some industries, but we do not believe that they will substantially impact our core business. We believe that we’re well-positioned to continue delivering our mission-critical technologies without delay or compromise.”

ScanTech AI’s robust manufacturing and procurement ecosystem was intentionally structured to minimize dependency on any single geographical region, reducing the risk of exposure to geopolitical volatility and trade barriers. This has allowed the Company to maintain cost stability and uphold delivery commitments without interruption.

“Our approach has always been to design for resilience,” added Rocky Starns, Chief Technology Officer of ScanTech AI. “By building a global network of suppliers and anticipating policy shifts, we’ve worked to help ensure our ability to deliver advanced security systems without disruption—regardless of changes in the trade environment.”
