One of the trends that has been emerging in the manufacturing industry recently, is “new-shoring” – the act of creating jobs and production on home soil. This is a “from scratch” approach and differs from “reshoring” which simply returns jobs home that had once left. Although there are pros and cons to producing goods both locally and abroad, the priorities of companies have changed.

Global Gears WorldWhen producing abroad, merchandise is typically made faster and cheaper, making this a desirable option for those businesses who want to keep overhead and manufacturing costs to a minimum. Additionally, as new technologies have emerged, consistency in merchandise quality has risen. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems with manufacturing abroad is the lack of security for intellectual property. If a company begins to produce abroad and the intellectual property becomes compromised, it will begin to show through decreasing profits. Duplicates of technologies can also degrade the image of the original.

By making the shift to building products locally, companies are far less susceptible to intellectual property theft, and can do a better job guaranteeing product quality. Having at-home production also eases the creative process itself. If any tweaks, changes, or modifications need to be done along the way, the convenience of location is available. The increased cost of production has become a short-term issue, and manufacturers are beginning to focus on long-term results.

Because after all, there’s no place like home.
