Nationwide Reshoring Survey Open Through March 15; Survey to Provide Insights to Focus U.S. Industrial Policy

The Reshoring Initiative, in collaboration with Regions Recruiting, recently announced the launch of an industrywide survey examining what is factoring into manufacturers’ decisions on whether to reshore factories and supply chains. This research comes at a critical time as the U.S. rebuilds its hollowed-out manufacturing base.

The nationwide survey, released on January 28, 2025, will remain open to respondents through March 15, 2025. The survey will gather experience and insights from manufacturing operations, supply chain/procurement decision-makers, contract manufacturers and distributors.

"We are calling on OEMs, contract manufacturers and distributors to take the survey now," a spokesperson said.

The findings will be released at the end of March and will be shared with industry leaders, as well as the Trump Administration to help shape policies that will benefit manufacturing and the country. Contact the Reshoring Initiative for preferential access to the findings.

“One purpose of the survey is to determine the impact of proposed policy changes, (e.g. tariffs, taxes and deportation) and the U.S. need for a greatly enhanced skilled workforce and training system,” said Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative. “Reshoring has surged from 11,000 jobs announced/year in 2010 to 270,000/year in 2023. Our economy and national defense need much more reshoring and workforce to thrive and survive.”

Kathy Nunnally, Managing Partner at Regions Recruiting, said, “The pandemic was an eye-opener, showing us what’s at risk when supply chains are disrupted. Ever since, most of our clients have been reshaping their supply chain procurement strategies—and the teams that execute them—to focus on resiliency and guard against potential geopolitical risks, climate risks and more.”

The Reshoring Initiative, founded in 2010, assists companies in accurately assessing their total cost of offshoring. The Initiative's mission is to balance the $1.1 trillion goods trade deficit. Primarily as a result of more reshoring and less offshoring manufacturing employment has risen over the last 14 years, the best record in the last 45 years.

Specializing in industrial manufacturing and distribution executive placement, Regions Recruiting serves as a strategic partner to Fortune 1000 manufacturers, SMEs and emerging growth companies to upskill, rebuild and scale their U.S. capabilities.
