MAKING THE CASE FOR BRINGING
MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICA
Global supply chain disruptions, rising overseas costs, and a desire for greater control over quality, intellectual property, and workforce continue to drive a stronger business case for stateside manufacturing and production –
Advances in AI, analytics, and IoT over the past two decades are transforming the industry, driving greater efficiency in production and logistics that enable U.S. manufacturers to embrace new tools and technologies that unlock significant potential through domestic operations. According to the Reshoring Initiative, nearly two million high-paying manufacturing jobs have been brought back since 2010; 69% of U.S. manufacturers have begun reshoring their supply chains and 94% of those are finding it successful. The tide is shifting to bring more companies home by providing the regulatory and operational conditions they need to thrive.
A CATALYST FOR FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT RESHORING
Arizona has become a top destination for reshoring and advanced manufacturing due to its strategic advantages. The state is home to 100+ aerospace and defense companies, with semiconductor giants like TSMC investing $40 billion in local facilities. Arizona ranks 5th in the nation for solar energy production, supporting sustainable manufacturing initiatives. Its proximity to Mexico facilitates $16 billion in cross-border trade annually, enhancing supply chain efficiency. With a workforce of over 180,000 in manufacturing and state tax credits for innovation, Arizona offers a competitive edge. These factors position it as a leader in reshoring to strengthen U.S. manufacturing.
Winslow an ideal location for manufacturing operators seeking more favorable development conditions than coastal ports due to its favorable regulatory environment, immediate proximity to a high-traffic corridor, and ample land, power, and water.
