Beyond Tariffs: Should Reshoring Be Part of Your Long-Term Manufacturing Strategy?

As U.S. manufacturers face potential import tariff increases, many are reevaluating their supply chain strategies, with nearshoring or reshoring emerging as a compelling option.

While tariffs may be the immediate catalyst, proximity to suppliers has always offered numerous advantages. However, the changing landscape, including potential tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, complicates decision-making. But is reshoring or nearshoring the right move for your business?
