The tide is turning on global outsourcing and we have the resources needed to welcome back the work from abroad.

Trouble is, everyone is waiting . . . buildings sit empty, waiting for tenants; manufacturing support and government programs are in place, waiting for applicants; contract manufacturers are waiting for work; and management and capital mark time, waiting for opportunity.

Add to this picture the consumer products companies and their agents struggling with a tarnished and decaying sourcing model, waiting for relief and not knowing what course to pursue.

There needs to be a catalyst that can connect and coordinate these resources. An entity that would show the consumer products companies a way forward. An entity that would marshal resources and map out a U.S.-based manufacturing solution.
