Onshoring & Reshoring in Plumbing Supply Chains

A new wave of U.S.-based manufacturing is hitting plumbing and mechanical supply chains—driven by economic, geopolitical, and environmental factors. Moving production closer to home enhances lead times, pricing stability, and resilience, reshaping how plumbing products are made and distributed.
