ZEELAND, Mich. — A Michigan clock company that has helped people keep time for 99 years says it’s going out of business due to tariffs and other economic conditions.

Howard Miller Co., which makes grandfather clocks, wall clocks and furniture, said production will be phased out this year.

The Zeeland-based manufacturer has sought a buyer but so far hasn’t found one.

“Furniture sales are closely linked to the health of the housing market, which is struggling,” said CEO Howard J. “Buzz” Miller, grandson of founder Howard Miller.

Miller said tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have increased the cost of essential components that aren’t available in the U.S. The company employs about 200 people in Michigan and North Carolina. — Associated Press
