Why It Matters
Brunner & Lay Inc., a manufacturing-focused company, has hired Atlas Crossing LLC to represent its interests in Washington. The disclosure was signed Aug. 13 with Brunner & Lay Inc. registered to lobby on manufacturing issues.
By the Numbers
Atlas Crossing represents approximately 50 or more clients across multiple industries. During the prior year period through mid-2026, the firm collected $660,000 in fees from NACS, one of its highest-earning client, followed by Disaster Management Group LLC at $540,000 and Air Space Intelligence Inc. at $420,000.
Broader Context
Steel and aluminum tariffs were doubled from 25 percent to 50 percent in mid-2025, according to a July Congressional Research Service (CRS) report. The CRS confirmed that tariff expansions extended to derivative products and lowered the U.S.-sourced metal content threshold for exemptions from 95 percent to 85 percent, potentially affecting companies reliant on imported materials or international supply chains.
