BABA Compliance

Print

Overview

Yaskawa is committed to supporting the Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). We recognize the importance of domestic manufacturing in strengthening the U.S. industrial base and are dedicated to providing products that meet BABA requirements.

The Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). It requires that federally funded infrastructure projects use domestically produced materials, including manufactured products like variable frequency drives (VFDs). To qualify, products must meet strict thresholds for U.S.-based manufacturing and component sourcing.

Standalone Drives

While our packaged drives are fully BABA compliant, standalone drives are currently evaluated for compliance on a per-request basis. This ensures we meet the unique requirements of each project and maintain accuracy in documentation.

Contact Your Local Regional Drives Specialist to request a compliance review for your standalone drive application.

Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing

Yaskawa's dedication to U.S. manufacturing is evident in our efforts to align with federal initiatives like BABA. We continue to invest in domestic production capabilities to better serve infrastructure projects across the nation.
