AN AFIMAC POSITION PAPER
Will Tariffs Reshape the Future of U.S. Logistics?
As new tariffs disrupt the global movement of goods, logistics leaders face rising pressure to reexamine sourcing, storage, and distribution strategies. With shifting trade policies and mounting geopolitical risk, companies are reevaluating how and where they operate. This white paper, “The Great Manufacturing (Re)Migration,” explores how tariffs, trade disputes, and supply chain volatility are accelerating nearshoring, reshoring, and regionalization across logistics and warehousing operations.
The Great Manufacturing (Re)Migration offers a deep dive into the evolving landscape of global manufacturing strategy. Beyond tariffs, trade agreements, and offshoring shifts, this paper explores the full spectrum of reshoring and nearshoring trends—from the historical forces that sparked change to the technologies making local production more viable. It highlights key data from industry leaders, examines the labor challenges facing U.S. manufacturers, and outlines actionable strategies for building resilient, cost-effective supply chains in an uncertain world. Whether you’re planning a relocation or reevaluating your global footprint, this is essential reading.
