Center for the Return of Manufacturing
Our mission
The Center for the Return of Manufacturing's (CFRM) mission is to anticipate, guide and directly assist U.S.-based and foreign owned manufacturing companies in returning jobs to the U.S. and simultaneously, unlocking export opportunities abroad; as well as helping companies who ship across international borders manage regulations to stay in compliance and shipments that don’t get held at the border. The result: the return of manufacturing to the U.S. and to our communities as a coveted place of employment, bolstered by the goal of a return of investment for both manufacturers and the community.
Benefits from our experienced team:
- Pressure for companies to digitize their supply chain in order to compete in a “need it now” consumer driven economy.
- An uncertain trade compliance landscape that could hold shipments at the border, result in fines, or impact your bottom line.
- Increasing protectionism that could influence what products you sell and the supply chain needed to support the flow of goods.
- Where climate change and sustainability are forcing companies to reconsider the nature of global supply chains and its impact on the environment.
- The community of manufacturers – the doers and the difference-makers – is at an inflection point in the resurgence of manufacturing in the United States.
- Restoring balance and global competitiveness which hinges on experienced hands to serve and guide manufacturers in reshaping their future.
- The Center for the Return of Manufacturing (CFRM) as the leading resource placing you in control of your manufacturing future.
