Global supply chains face rising costs and delays. Shipping from overseas adds uncertainty, extended lead times, and quality risks. On-shoring plastic manufacturing back to the U.S. brings faster turnaround, improved control, and dependable results.
What Is On-Shoring in Plastic Manufacturing?
On-shoring means moving plastic production from overseas suppliers back to domestic facilities. For industries like automotive, HVAC, and energy, this shift strengthens supply chains and improves customer satisfaction.
