Harry Moser’s new column explores how the most effective path to U.S. reindustrialization lies in addressing the root causes that hinder reshoring, resolving systemic challenges, and implementing a forward-looking national industrial policy.

Results of 2025 Reshoring Survey, Part 3

The 2025 National Metalworking Reshoring Award proudly recognizes two outstanding companies driving the return of manufacturing to the U.S.: GE Appliances and Marlin Steel.

GE Appliances, a co-winner, stands out for its major reshoring investments and significant job creation—making it one of the largest contributors among more than 7,000 documented reshoring manufacturers nationwide.

Marlin Steel, also a co-winner, is honored for its exceptional achievements demonstrating how automation, engineering excellence, product quality, and reliable delivery can make reshoring both practical and profitable.

Reports Reveal “Game-Changers” For U.S. Reshoring

Global manufacturing leaders have identified the search for skilled talent as the No. 1 factor driving manufacturing competitiveness.  In recognition of this critical need, the Reshoring Initiative is proud to celebrate Manufacturing Day 2025 by advocating for expanded pathways that equip young people with the technical skills essential for today’s workforce.

We invite you to read Harry Moser’s latest article in Industry Week, which explores this important topic in depth.

What Are the Barriers to U.S. Reindustrialization? What’s Driving Reshoring and Domestic Manufacturing? The answers may be more unexpected than you think. Give Harry Moser’s new column a read.

SURVEY REVEALS IMPERATIVES FOR AMERICAN REINDUSTRIALIZATION

The Reshoring survey revealed the priorities for America’s reindustrialization.

In this article Harry discusses the top priorities and the Contract Manufacturers’ response.

Fifty nine percent of contract manufacturers (CMs) have either already reshored for their customers, are actively reshoring, or are currently quoting reshoring.

Harry Moser’s new article focuses on the CM responses to the 2025 Reshoring Survey. Discover the fundamental insights and the actionable conclusions in Moser’s new article.

2025 Reshoring Survey: 59% of Shops Reshored or Are Quoting

What are the broader trends driving reshoring? In this webcast Harry Moser suggests that companies dig into the numbers—total cost, not just price because they often realize they’re paying more than they think to stay offshore. Manufacturers often see savings in unexpected places like inventory, which showed an average drop of 60–70% and in one Illinois case, by 94%.

From offshore challenges to domestic solutions

The 2025 Reshoring Survey reached an actionable conclusion. A sufficient quantity and quality of U.S. workforce would bring back more manufacturing than any of the other surveyed options  — tariffs, a lower U.S. dollar, lower tax rates or fewer regulations.

The survey also revealed that only 30% of OEMs use total cost of ownership (TCO) in comparing domestic to offshore sourcing. Shifting the bulk of OEMs to TCO would reshore billions of dollars with no government subsidies, no supply chain shock, no retaliation and no impact on inflation after companies factored in all global risks and costs.

A Stronger Skilled Workforce Would Boost Reshoring

Harry Moser explores a pressing question: Can reshoring succeed despite the growing skills gap? Harry highlights how companies lack control over tariffs and global geopolitics. However, workforce training emerges as a powerful, controllable lever for gaining a competitive edge. Harry offers actionable strategies to help businesses navigate today’s unpredictable landscape.

Crisis In The Workforce: Can Reshoring Continue Despite Our Skills Gap?

U.S. Reindustrialization — What will it take? Harry Moser writes, “The success or failure of training millions of workers could skew the outcome of the U.S. reindustrialization momentum in either direction. If the skills gap is not effectively addressed, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled, with an estimated loss to GDP of $1T by 2030.
