Is Reshoring Gaining Real Momentum — or Just Headlines?
-
Over the last few years, there’s been a steady drumbeat of news about reshoring. Politicians mention it, press headlines highlight it, and major manufacturers talk about it.
Are you seeing reshoring actually happen on the ground?
But here’s the real question:
Are U.S.-based manufacturers really bringing more work back home — or is the hype outpacing reality?
We want to hear from you — whether you’re in aerospace, automotive, electronics, defense, small batch, or contract manufacturing. What’s your take? Is reshoring changing your business? Are suppliers adapting?
Let’s talk about what’s really happening in U.S. manufacturing.

What do you think about materials cost as well as the role that automation could play for labor cost?

Battery cell manufacturing and custom pack assembly
My current FDI clients include: 5x European, 1x Chinese, and 1x Australian
It's real and it's happening
1000-1500 jobs and >$500M in total spend for domestic suppliers

@dave-mcchesney58 this is awesome. So much excitement and optimism in US industrials right now. What is the reason for the FDI? Are they trying to get off of China? or are they trying to dodge tariffs? What are the big reasons you see things moving back?

@michael-kornuta I wouldn't say optimism right now haha. More like waiting out the uncertainty. Honestly, Trump needs to make up his damn mind. Are we having tariffs or not? There needs to be a clear direction put in place.
Main reason is to serve the NA markets with local assembly and sales/technical support. They have existing business here, so instead of shipping over finished goods with long lead times, they can assemble domestically.
Tariffs have companies interested for sure. EU companies don't have much of a concern. Chinese companies are more concerned.
US companies want to strengthen supply chain resilience to get CMs out of China. IP protection is another reason for that. Another is the US does not allow Chinese BMS in utility BESS for grid security.
