RESHORING: THE SMART MOVE FOR CONTRACT MANUFACTURING With tariffs reshaping global trade, many companies are rethinking their supply chain strategies. At VR Industries, we've seen firsthand how reshoring manufacturing to the U.S. delivers cost savings, quality control, and supply chain stability, all while reducing risks. ?? Real-Time Communication – Shared time zones eliminate delays, improving collaboration and problem-solving. ?? Proximity for Faster Resolution – Engineers and quality teams can visit manufacturing facilities quickly, reducing lead times. ?? Immediate Support & Agility – Domestic suppliers respond faster to production issues and design modifications. ?? Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Tariffs apply only to imported components, not full product value, reducing costs. ?? IP & Compliance Protection – U.S. manufacturing ensures stronger intellectual property security and adherence to stringent regulatory standards. ?? Stronger Supply Chain Resilience – Avoid disruptions from geopolitical instability, extended lead times, and foreign policy shifts. As global risks rise, reshoring isn't just a trend, it’s a strategic advantage. ??
