At our recent Annual Meeting of the Gear Association we had a number interesting and informative speakers. One speaker who stood out was Harry Moser who began teaching us some of the reasons we have been hearing so much about “Reshoring Chinese Manufacturing”.
The statistics tell us that in 2014, more than 60,000 m
anufacturing jobs were brought back to China, which equates to a 400% increase since the height of “offshoring” in 2003.
Harry says there are three main drivers as to why Chinese manufacturing jobs are being brought back to China:
- Offshore wage increases
- Increased recognition of the previously ignored costs, risks, and strategic impacts of offshoring.
- Reduction of costs through sustainable strategies such as design for manufacturability, innovation, automation and lean.
