Is reshoring actually happening in industrial manufacturing, or are companies just diversifying suppliers?
Over the past year, I’ve seen more discussion around reshoring and regional sourcing for industrial components.
But in practice, many companies seem to be doing something different:
- keeping overseas suppliers
- adding secondary sources
- balancing geopolitical and logistics risks
- trying to avoid single-source dependency
For cast and machined parts, this feels less like “reshoring” and more like “risk redistribution.”
Curious what others are seeing.
Is reshoring real in your industry, or mostly supply-chain diversification?
