Onshoring / Reshoring 2020

American manufacturers are finding out it makes sense to bring component parts manufacturing back to the U.S..

More and more companies are benefiting from shorter supply chains and the ability to collaborate with suppliers in real time, close time zones, not by an email that gets answered the next day.  Many forward-thinking companies were so busy doing reshoring that 2019 was a record year for it.

The Boston Consulting Group forecasts that in the next five years there shall be a manufacturing renaissance in the United States and that some U.S. states will become among the most cost-effective locations for manufacturing in the developed world. This renaissance is expected to bring significant core manufacturing back to the U.S..

It doesn’t take many defects from a supplier half a world away to evaporate any potential cost savings. Containment, sorting, reworking, scrapping, and expediting replacements are all factors to be considered.  The sweetness of low price is quickly soured by poor quantity or missed deliveries.  Oversight is mere hours away with Talan Products, not days, and we love to have visitors.  Come and discover first-hand how we have grown in size to be in the top 10% of manufacturers in Ohio.

Being globally competitive isn’t just about low labor components, it is about being efficient and frugal.  Under the frugal category for example, we can purchase older punch press equipment and have it rebuilt to the most modern standards.  Mechanically we have them brought back to brand new tolerances and we then add state of the art controls and feeding systems.  On our 600-ton Minster we saved $1 million over the price buying a brand-new press and yet we have functionally exactly that.
