A big shift has been happening in manufacturing in recent years, and it’s changing how companies source their most critical components. It’s called reshoring, and more businesses are making the move to bring production back to the United States.
Why? Because supply chains need to be strong, dependable, and fast. That’s exactly what U.S.-made components offer.
At Bloom Manufacturing, we’ve proudly been building winches right here in Independence, Iowa for over 100 years. And we’re not alone; companies across the country are rethinking offshore sourcing and choosing American-made parts that are built to last.
Why Reshoring Is Gaining Ground
Several factors are driving the reshoring trend:
1. Stronger Supply Chains
From global pandemics to shipping delays, the past few years have exposed major risks in international sourcing. Reshoring to the U.S. gives companies more control, faster delivery, and less risk of disruption.

2. Better Quality Control
U.S. manufacturers follow strict quality and safety standards. For industries like construction, marine, energy, and utilities, that level of quality is non-negotiable. With domestic manufacturing, what you get is consistent, tested, and proven.

3. Faster Lead Times
Waiting weeks (or months) for overseas parts? Not exactly ideal. When components are made close to home, you get what you need faster, and can still keep your projects on schedule.

4. True Cost Savings Over Time
Offshoring can look cheaper on paper. But when you factor in freight, tariffs, delays, warranty issues, and long lead times, the total cost of ownership starts to add up. U.S.-made components often offer better long-term value.
