After years of global disruption, businesses have learned an important lesson: supply chains need to be flexible, transparent, and resilient. Manufacturers are no longer content to operate “out of sight, out of mind.” Instead, they’re rethinking where and how their products are made, choosing strategies that bring stability, cost savings, and faster fulfillment.
One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing is offshoring relocation. Companies want to reduce risk, avoid excessive tariffs, and ensure they can keep shelves stocked and customers satisfied. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Sometimes, businesses don’t bring production home; they simply move it to a more strategic location. That’s where offshore relocation and friendshoring come in.
Key Terms Explained
To make sense of this trend, here are a few terms you’ll hear:
Offshoring – Moving manufacturing overseas to save costs, usually in lower-labor-cost regions.
Reshoring – Bringing production back home to the USA. Read more about this at Reshoring Initiative.
Nearshoring – Relocating production to a nearby country like Canada and Mexico for easier logistics and faster turnaround.
Friendshoring – Choosing to manufacture in countries with friendlier trade agreements like the USMCA.
Offshore Relocation – Shifting production from one foreign country to another, such as from China to Vietnam or Thailand to reduce tariffs.
For many businesses these strategies help improve supply chain resilience and most importantly, improve costs.
