Berkshire's Brooks Running committed to southeast Asia as tariffs take hold

OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) -Brooks Running, which is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, is committed to keeping production in southeast Asia even if U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs mean consumers will pay more for its performance running shoes, its chief executive said. Dan Sheridan, a 27-year Brooks veteran and chief executive since April 2024, in an interview at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting noted the risks of higher tariffs on Vietnam and Indonesia, where Brooks makes its shoes.
