A new space for Hatch’s next stage of growth.

Recorded from inside our new facility, Hatch Co-Founder & Co-President Addison Merchut sat down with Robert Cortez from KYRO to talk about the move and what the expanded space means for Hatch.

At nearly double the size of our previous facility, our new home gives our growing team more room across our offices, engineering labs, and manufacturing operations.

Now that we’re officially moved in, we’d love to show you around. Reach out to schedule a visit and come see what we’re building at Hatch.

We couldn’t have a Hatch Grand Opening without actually hatching something. 🐣

Our 3D printers were hard at work producing these little chickens for guests to take home as a souvenir from the celebration.

A small giveaway, made right here at Hatch.

Tariff Therapy Tip 9 of 9: Leverage USA import experts with HS expertise to decrease risk and therefore cost.

Using a foreign vendor as the importer can be risky. It can be like playing roulette with customs. Small classification errors can trigger delays, penalties, or unexpected costs that quickly erode margin.

Working with US-based import experts who understand HS codes, documentation, and enforcement nuance reduces risk and creates more predictable landed costs. At Hatch, our team and partners specialize in navigating these details so there are fewer surprises at the port.

Bonus tip:
Categories and industries matter. For example, metal used for camping supplies carries a different tariff rate than metal used for medical equipment. Proper classification can materially impact your total cost.

If every product worked perfectly the first time, we wouldn't have much to do.

Product development is all about testing, iterating, and solving problems until a product meets its requirements.

Here, Production Manager Ricky is doing exactly that. The willingness to jump in, take ownership, and solve challenges is part of the culture at Hatch.
