FireflySci Customers Grapple with Price Hikes Due to Trump Tariffs

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FireflySci, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of cuvettes , calibration standards, and quartz glass optics, is addressing significant challenges posed by the Trump administration's imposed tariffs.
