Reshoring

Plastic Concepts & Design, Inc. is proud to support the US injection molding and US manufacturing industries by keeping work domestic, and not sourcing overseas for molds or production.

Plastic Concepts products are guaranteed and made in the USA, using domestically manufactured plastics whenever possible. As a plastic manufacturer, we are advocates of the Reshoring Initiative. You will find some of the findings below. 

Reshoring is the practice of bringing manufacturing and services back to the U.S. from overseas. It’s a fast and efficient way to strengthen the U.S. economy because it helps balance the trade and budget deficits, reduces unemployment by creating good, well-paying manufacturing jobs, and fosters a skilled workforce.

Reshoring also benefits manufacturing companies by reducing the total cost of their products, improving balance sheets, and making product innovations more effective.

The mission of Reshorenow.org is:  to bring good, well-paying manufacturing jobs back to the United States by assisting companies to more accurately assess their total cost of offshoring, and shift collective thinking from offshoring is cheaper to local manufacturing reducing the total cost of ownership.

The top reasons that companies reshore include:

• Lead time
• Higher product quality and consistency
• Rising offshore wages
• Skilled workforce
• Freight costs
• Image of being Made in USA
• Lower inventory levels, better turns
• Better responsiveness to changing customer demands
• Minimal intellectual property and regulatory compliance risks
• Improved innovation and product differentiation
• Local tax incentives
