Re-shoring Manufacturing: A Defining Opportunity for U.S. Industry

The reshoring movement is more than just a trend – it’s a long term shift toward stronger, more reliable, and more sustainable production networks within the United States. Companies that act now will help lead the next generation of U.S. manufacturers built on quality, responsiveness, and innovation.

In a recent conversation, Thad Fisco, CEO of Mixing Tanks USA, shared his perspective on re-shoring and the opportunity for legacy operations to become more efficient

Why re-shoring matters now

The disruptions of recent years – from global logistics bottlenecks to shifting trade dynamics – have highlighted the risk and overreliance on overseas production. Re-shoring allows American manufacturers to:

  • Reduce supply chain vulnerabilities
  • Improve lead times and customer responsiveness
  • Maintain higher quality and compliance standards
  • Invest in local communities and workforce development

Mixing Tanks USA has seen firsthand the benefits of producing domestically. By leveraging local partnerships, advanced fabrication technologies and a skilled workforce, the company delivers precision engineered stainless steel tanks that meet demanding industry standards – delivering product domestically without uncertainty of offshore supply chains. 

“Re-shoring isn’t about turning back the clock, it’s about moving forward – integrating automation, digital manufacturing tools and sustainable practices that ensure U.S. producers remain globally competitive.” says Fisco.
