On this past weekend’s “Minding Your Business” on News 12+, NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka visited Michael Lewis, the founder of Piscataway-based Forever Collectibles, or FOCO, and discussed the potential devastating impacts tariffs could have on his China-dependent business.
“You can't take the competence of 30, 40, 50 years of management expertise and just say because, ‘I don’t want to make it there anymore.’ And I believe it can be made here versus here; that's just not true. You can't just do that,” he said. “Now, if you told me I want to do it over four years, I want to do it over three years, we could talk about a pathway to get there. But if you say, I have to do it now, it's impossible.
“There’s one place in the world you can make this bobblehead, it’s in Fujian Province in China. There is no other place.”
NJBIA’s “Minding Your Business” is a weekly TV show and the winner of seven Telly Awards over the past three years, including a gold 2024 Telly in the Interview & Talk Show category.
