What you need to know
As manufacturing continues to evolve in 2026, the conversation around reshoring — bringing production back to the United States — remains a key strategic focus, especially for companies sourcing molded rubber, urethane and plastic parts. Now is the time to evaluate reshoring opportunities, as we all navigate a mix of policy shifts, industry momentum and international challenges.
To help you stay ahead in a changing global supply chain environment, in 2025 Molded Dimensions Group introduced the Reshore Success Program which has proven valuable for companies. Through Reshore Success, our experts present tailored insights on reshoring priorities, offering recommendations on moving component manufacturing to the United States when suitable.
No-Cost Evaluation
With this no-cost evaluation, Molded Dimensions Group analyzes parts based on raw materials, manufacturability, volume, labor and quality factors. We then provide quotes for domestic production and tooling options in as little as five business days.
The Reshore Success Program helps companies build a balanced sourcing strategy without compromising on cost or performance, all thanks to leveraging domestic expertise alongside global sourcing experience.
Molded Dimensions Group knows what many manufacturers are experiencing firsthand: reshoring is real, but it’s challenging. Growth is driven by a desire to reduce risk and improve responsiveness, not just by maintaining cost controls.
Why Reshoring Still Matters in 2026
Industry outlooks continue to emphasize reshoring’s role in accelerating growth across core manufacturing sectors. This year is expected to bring even more investment in smart manufacturing, automation and supply chain visibility, all essential as companies navigate economic questions and competitive pressures. These trends support reshoring by helping U.S. facilities offset higher labor costs by improving efficiency and agility.
For molded component buyers, the reshoring case is clear:
- Faster Lead Times: Domestic production reduces transit delays and inventory uncertainty.
- Greater Quality Control: Closer collaboration with suppliers supports tighter specifications and faster problem resolution.
- Supply Chain Resilience: Less dependence on global logistics protects against disruption.
