KEYNOTE: How OEMs and Job Shops Can Benefit from Reshoring

After decades of offshoring that cost the U.S. 5 million manufacturing jobs and tens of thousands of factories, reshoring is making a strong comeback, driven by the current administration's policy, economic strategy, and growing geopolitical risk. In this keynote, reshoring advocate Harry Moser shares insights from a national survey of 500 manufacturers, revealing how shorter, domestic supply chains reduce risk and boost profits for OEMs across 20–30% of imported products. Learn how OEMs and job shops can capitalize on this trend—identifying reshoring opportunities, justifying automation investments, and building stronger workforce pipelines. This session also includes the 2025 National Metalworking Reshoring Award and provides actionable steps to move reshoring from talk to reality.
