The is collaborating with on an industrywide survey that examines what is factoring into manufacturers’ decisions on whether to reshore factories and supply chains. The nationwide survey runs Jan. 28 through March 15, 2025.
According to the Reshore Initiative, this research comes at a critical time as the U.S. rebuilds its hollowed-out manufacturing base. The survey will gather experience and insights from manufacturing operations, supply chain/procurement decision-makers, contract manufacturers and distributors. Survery organizers are calling on OEMs, contract manufacturers and distributors to now.
The findings will be released at the end of March and will be shared with industry leaders as well as the Trump administration to help shape policies that will benefit manufacturing and the country
Companies can contact the Reshoring initiative to request preferential access to the findings.
“One purpose of the survey is to determine the impact of proposed policy changes (for example, tariffs, taxes and deportation) and the U.S. need for a greatly enhanced skilled workforce and training system,” says Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative. “Reshoring has surged from 11,000 jobs announced per year in 2010 to 270,000/year in 2023. Our economy and national defense need much more reshoring and workforce to thrive and survive.”
Regions Recruiting brings its industry research experience to the project. “The pandemic was an eye-opener, showing us what’s at risk when supply chains are disrupted. Ever since, most of our clients have been reshaping their supply chain procurement strategies — and the teams that execute them — to focus on resiliency and guard against potential geopolitical risks, climate risks and more,” says Kathy Nunnally, managing partner at Regions Recruiting.
The Reshoring Initiative was founded in 2010 to assist companies in accurately assessing their total cost of offshoring. The Initiative’s mission is to balance the $1.1 trillion goods trade deficit. Primarily as a result of more reshoring and less offshoring, manufacturing employment has risen over the last 14 years, making it the best record in the last 45 years.
