Made in America: How to Leverage Re-shoring to Build Your Business

When:  Dec 12, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM (ET)
Reshoring manufacturing and promoting domestic production have been a real focus across the United States for the past several years.  As part of the Made in America and Build America Buy America initiatives, many construction and infrastructure projects funded with federal or state dollars now come with the stipulation that a majority of the products purchased be sourced from US-based manufacturers. Likewise, a significant portion of Federal government purchasing is required to be bought from US manufacturers.  
Given these trends, US-based manufacturers have a unique opportunity to engage new markets and customers. Become familiar with the regulations and stipulations surrounding “Made in America” and tap into new customers eager to find US-based suppliers for their needs. 
 
The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) network stands as one of the primary resources connecting these purchasers with the relevant domestic manufacturers and products they are looking for. Learn how to access this growing network of resources to help expand and grow your business in new and exciting directions.
