Congress Takes Note of NTMA's Reshoring Efforts

It's good to see Congress take notice of "reshoring" - U.S. manufacturers bringing work back the United States from overseas.  NTMA has been talking about this issue for more than two years when we started to see previously off-shored work start coming back to the U.S. and to our members.  In fact, our Purchasing Fairs have promoted reshoring, providing a forum for hundreds of companies to connect with highly competitive and skilled domestic small to medium sized manufacturers.  Earlier this week, the House of Representatives' Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies held a hearing on "American Manufacturing and Job Repatriation" focused on reshoring.  The head of the NTMA-sponsored reshoring initiative, Harry Moser, testified at the hearing.  Read his testimony here.   The next Purchasing Fair will take place on June 13-14 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, MI in conjunction with Amerimold Expo 2012.
