(Spencer Platt/Getty Images) More than a year after the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus entered the scene, manufacturers are dealing with a very different world and supply chain . As they battle ongoing disruptions, congested ports, and ongoing delays, the idea of sourcing closer to home is gaining interest.
“There’s such an initiative now for the reshoring,” says Nicole Wolter, president and CEO at HM Manufacturing, a power transmission components facility in Wauconda, Illinois, which focuses on delivering custom precision timing belt pulleys, gears, splines, sheaves, and shafts.
“I’ve seen a lot of my customers start to do things more internally,” she told The Epoch Times.
Moving operations to the United States provides the opportunity to reduce supply chain risks.
“By shortening the supply chain, and producing products in the United States, you’re removing the possibility of goods being stuck overseas or even at our own ports,” according to Steven Vigilante, the head of new business development for OLIPOP , a soda with microbiome and digestive health support.

“While producing goods overseas used to be cost-effective, that’s not necessarily the case anymore,” Vigilante said. “In recent years, the costs of labor, energy, transportation, and materials have skyrocketed.”

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
