Premium Commentary & Analysis
The U.S., for several years, has been trying to bring back manufacturing across the board, including textiles and apparel. The pandemic and the resulting supply chain crisis spurred more action toward this goal. But simply bringing back manufacturing and doing the same old things, only here in America, I don’t believe plays into the American ingenuity theme. That’s where new shoring comes in. Yes, bring back manufacturing. But do it in a way that is innovative, automated, sustainable, and yet competitive. For more details about new shoring, there is an excellent article available on “The Sourcing Journal” (subscription may be required).

This is a great article and topic to discuss, debate and develop. North America is a land of innovation and creativity. There is every reason to believe we can bring manufacturing back, plus reinvent the methodologies, materials and supply chain while advancing industries to produce customized and even personalized products across almost any line of products.
