Industry Today: “Made in USA” Renaissance

April 26, 2021

The increasing frequency of “black swan” events such as the semiconductor shortage and Ever Given incident have prompted a closer look at traditional supply chain models and their resistance to global shocks. Within the United States, manufacturers are starting to reimagine how they leverage these global networks to their advantage in tandem with the federal government.

Within the last few decades, the offshoring frenzy that emerged out of increasing globalization centered around the cost of labor and goods, bringing China into the forefront of the global economy, and allowing the United States and others to maximize margins by lowering operating costs at home.
