The first American bank emphasizes the US production layer

Sarah M. EikenberryVice -president from Commercial lending At the first American bankPresent Explains why more US manufacturers rethink global supply chains – and find local solutions that offer better control, faster delivery and new business opportunities.

Miami, May 27, 2025 (Globe Newswire) – new shift – bring production back to the USA – has shifted from a niche strategy to a Mainstream consideration For many manufacturers. Although the concept is not new, the recent global disorders have caused small and medium -sized manufacturers to take measures.

Customs, shipping delays, geopolitical risk and increasing inventory costs have exposed weaknesses in global supply chains. In the meantime, the production of customers and government incentives will become increasingly attractive.

In the first American bank we work directly with customers who navigate this transition. Here is the reason why reshoring is permanently in dynamics.

Control is the driving force

For most companies there is one word: control.

If suppliers are abroad, the reaction to delays, the management of quality or adaptation of production is limited. The pandemic made it clear. The recent changes in tariffs that have created confusion and delays in the US ports, while the authorities control new import classifications.

Ask more of my customers: How can we reduce our risk? One answer is to bring more of the supply chain closer to home. Although domestic production can be more expensive, increased stability and responsiveness often justifies shift.

You don't have to build from scratch

A common misunderstanding is that new shift requires major investments. This is not necessarily the case.

Contract production opens doors for smaller companies. Due to the partnership with manufacturers based in the USA who already have infrastructure, companies can avoid the high costs of building their own institutions.

We saw this first hand. A customer in the Medical Products area recently expanded his skills to support both internal production and contracts of third -party providers, creating new approaches.

Buyers take care of the local procurement

The costs will always take into account decision -making. However, it is no longer the only consideration. Buyers increasingly appreciate transparency, quality and the ability to adapt quickly-all are advantages of the production based in the USA.

Some customers have seen more interest in trading shows by promoting their status “Made in the USA”. Many buyers are ready to pay more for the speed and reliability that is associated with local procurement.

The technology also narrows the cost gap. Automation, AI and slim processes help reduce labor costs without affecting the quality.

Talent and training are important enabler

Since more and more companies are bringing production home, the question naturally follows: Do we have the workforce to support it?

Specialist work remains a challenge In many regions, but we also see promising signs of cooperation between industry and education. Local universities across the country combine students through capstone projects and internships with real manufacturing problems. This early exposure helps to build a prepared talent pipeline.

At the same time, it is more important than ever to invest in training and local talent programs with the redesign of automation rollers.

Südflorida is part of the equation

While the redesign is often associated with the middle west industrialist, business -friendly regions such as Südflorida are becoming increasingly part of the conversation.

The area has a strong infrastructure for import export activities, and organizations like them Miami-Dade Beacon Council contribute to attracting investments and supporting employment growth. First American Bank has teamed up with many of these local organizations to create valuable connections for opportunities and incentives.

A long -term shift with short -term opportunities

New cultivation is not a quick solution. It is a gradual process and it won't look the same for every company. But the swing is real.

The companies that benefit the most are those who remain proactive: to identify parts of their business that can be brought back, find domestic partners and rethink their supply chain from both costs and control perspective.

At First American Bank, we help manufacturers to finance devices, to expand the company and to structure credit solutions in order to support the new shift. If you think about a shift, We are here to help you Rate your options and create a plan that corresponds to your goals.
