There’s no place like home. That’s what companies like Apple®, Ford®, Whirlpool®
and others are discovering. The trend is a growing number of organizations
clicking their heels and bringing overseas operations back to the U.S. According
to Harold Sirkin, a senior partner from the Boston Consulting Group®, in the
upcoming years 20 to 25 percent of products that were sent offshore will
eventually return to the United States.1 Even more telling, research shows that
more than half of executives at manufacturing companies with sales exceeding
$1 billion either plan to, or are thinking about, bringing overseas operations
back to the United States from China. Since 2012, there’s been roughly a 15
percent increase in companies that return to the U.S.
