Thank you really much for having us right here. We have a 35,000 square foot facility in downtown Buffalo currently, and we employ about 72 individuals. The tariffs have impacted us in a number of ways, in addition to everybody else, our increased expense of ingredients. We acquire our seeds and flowers from American companies who import them from around the globe.
We have actually taken in that expense so our margins have decreased. We go to a ceiling with the cost it's a costs item, so it is $10-11 as some of you all know and we really can not press that up. So, like I said, we have actually taken in that increase in the price of items and, as we are a quickly growing company, we are just putting those revenues back right into business.
So that's one means, the various other means is the disorder and confusion that Jim was discussing. A couple of operational challenges. Just recently I went to an airline company trade convention, which has a huge possibility for us to get onto the airlines as a treat. We're a number three tasty snack, so why not? But doing a feasibility research and taking a look at the equipment, all the quotes we got for equipment had that line product plus toll, and there was normally no cost related to that so it was a gamble and we really did not wish to risk it.
That's an actual embarassment that a business like yours has development possibility, but the unknown of what the tolls may be when they literally put that on the RFPs. And I assume that's occurring elsewhere. That's going to suppress people's ability to increase and take brand-new opportunities due to the fact that you can not make a dedication without recognizing what your expenses are mosting likely to be.
I would certainly such as to introduce Jon Notarius, Vice Head Of State of Premier Red Wines and Spirits. Familiar with any person in this area. Thanks. Resembling the remarks in the area the unpredictability of when to purchase points, just how much things prices, shipment costs. In the red wine organization, if I most likely to Bordeaux and purchase, for example, this occurred in 2022 town of Bordeaux, purchased a great deal of a glass of wine.
It's likewise based on the Euro and a whole lot of people do not realize the distinction in the Euro compared to where it was 18 months back is most likely one more 15 percent that's additionally triggered by the tolls. So it compromises the dollar, makes every little thing more costly. Essentially I'm paying 20 to 30 percent much more for things that we committed to 2 or three years earlier.
The other point that I believe is truly real in our company is that there's several degrees. As a result of the three rate system, you have an importer, you have a host wage, you have a sales individual, you have an individual delivering the item. Those are all affected by tolls since we're acquiring much less, we're selling less.
There are possibly 100-200 store wholesalers, importers that run in New york city State, pay sales tax, pay earnings, pay real estate tax. And I assume this year most likely 10-15 of them failed straight relevant to tariffs. That's type of the state of the wine and liquor business and I believe there's a false impression because a great deal of individuals think it's these multinational big firms.
