Manufacturing & US Onshoring

Understanding Manufacturing & U.S. Onshoring

What is Manufacturing?

Manufacturing is the process of creating products from raw materials or parts. From assembling smartphones to producing cars and clothing, manufacturing plays a crucial role in everyday life. It happens in factories, workshops, and even high-tech labs—where raw resources are transformed into the items we use every day. Modern manufacturing uses a mix of human labor, machines, and advanced technologies like robotics and automation to improve quality, efficiency, and speed.

What is U.S. Onshoring?

U.S. onshoring refers to the practice of bringing manufacturing and business operations back to the United States from other countries. Instead of producing goods overseas, companies are choosing to invest in American facilities and workers.

This shift helps:

Strengthen supply chains and reduce international disruptions
Create American jobs and support local economies
Improve product delivery times by manufacturing closer to U.S. customers
Enhance national security by keeping critical production—like semiconductors or medical supplies—onshore

Why It Matters

The global economy is changing, and businesses are rethinking where and how they make products. By supporting U.S. onshoring, we're investing in innovation, job growth, and a more resilient future.
