Episode 645: Reestablishing Supply Chains By Increasing Competitiveness

Moser On Manufacturing

Harry Moser, Founder and President of the Reshoring Initiative, discusses what is happening in manufacturers bringing production, and jobs, back to America.  Offshoring, particularly to Asia, has lost much of its cost benefits, especially with wages in China rising and the loss of intellectual property.  The mood of America towards products produced in China has shifted from ambivalent to averse.  Learn how these changes can position your company to win by listening to Moser of Manufacturing, the newest show in the JacketMediaCo line-up of industry-leading podcasts.
