The ‘Reshoring Initiative’ helps bring manufacturing back to the U.S.

Reshoring Initiative http://www.reshorenow.org/ is a national movement launched in 2010 to encourage more manufacturers to bring jobs back to the United States. According to its mission statement, the group aims to help companies "more accurately assess their total cost of offshoring, and shift collective thinking from ‘offshoring is cheaper’ to ‘local reduces the total cost of ownership.’"

"From a satellite to a smoke detector, we make stuff for that," says president and CEO, Todd Ketlinski.
