Reshoring

The “Reshoring Renaissance” is picking up steam! Several of Kormac’s manufacturing client partners have asked for our assistance in supporting greenfield and brownfield U.S. plant expansions. Around the world, conditions are accelerating shifts toward localized, more controllable manufacturing and supply chains.

Post-pandemic vulnerabilities drove the initial wave of nearshoring and reshoring. Now, expected changes to the U.S. trade, labor, regulatory, and energy production environments are encouraging domestic manufacturing expansion. As always, reshoring’s proximity to end-use customers provides compelling relief from logistical issues, risks, and costs.

Kormac enjoys supporting facility moves, expansions, and other manufacturing transitions, whether they be greenfield or brownfield, domestic or international. We address the technical, tactical, and cultural aspects of facility transition to ensure strategic alignment, schedule attainment, fiscal adherence, enhanced resilience, and performance sustainability. Our team’s experience includes:
• Supporting multiple facility relocations and transfers of work in France, Washington State, and California for an automotive components manufacturer
• Leading design, cost estimation, and engineering for a greenfield $800MM EPC power project in the Middle East, including safety and security specifications for blast and fire protection
• Evaluating anticipated ROI for a greenfield pump test stand factory, encompassing layout, buildings, electrical infrastructure, foundations, instrumentation, crane capacity, civil works, schedule, and construction cost estimates
• Providing greenfield facility support, planning, machinery setup, and inventory control for the launch of an energy services facility in Mexico
• Launching and leading an aerospace engine greenfield MRO facility, including site selection, facility, operations, core processes, and staffing and building the team
• Establishing a greenfield US customer delivery center for a Brazilian business jet manufacturer
• Developing a greenfield facility in Texas that consolidated four existing facilities into one new, state-of-the-art, 500,000-square-foot facility
• Analyzing product make/buy options between domestic and Mexican production facilities
• Supporting an aerospace component manufacturer in transitioning production from the U.S. to Mexico

The case for reshoring is more compelling than ever. Kormac can make your transitions smooth and effective.
