Gottheimer Stands Up for Jersey Jobs on Tariffs at New Snow Joe Facility

Gottheimer Launches #MadeInTheFifth Tour

MAHWAH N.J. — Today, Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) requested tariff exemptions for New Jersey company Snow Joe at the company’s new distribution center in Mahwah.

At the launch of his #MadeInTheFifth Tour, Gottheimer announced his letter calling on the U.S. Trade Representative to exclude electric and cordless snow shovels and snow throwers from the proposed Section 301 tariffs and hold more comprehensive hearings on the impact of jobs and companies staying in New Jersey, so that great New Jersey and American companies like Snow Joe can continue to thrive and create.

“Snow Joe is a #MadeInTheFifth company – a cutting-edge employer of New Jersey families that deserves recognition for its entrepreneurial spirit, its contributions to our community, and opening a 271,000-square-foot distribution center right here in Mahwah, bringing 150 new jobs to the area,”said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “Like many great American companies, Snow Joe’s success is facing a serious threat – and that’s the proposed sweeping tariffs on its goods. These sweeping tariffs threaten the jobs in this building and the future of American companies like this one. We need to do everything we can do avoid these new taxes on our businesses, jobs, and companies.”

“Snow Joe was thrilled to show off our new 271,000 square foot class A facility to Rep. Gottheimer today. We are also grateful for his commitment to New Jersey economic growth. I cannot wait to invite him back for another visit once our new facility is fully up and running,” said Snow Joe CEO Joe Cohen.
