Reshoring American Manufacturing
“Taking Your Business from Surviving to Thriving: Bringing Manufacturing Back Home”
As Bob Dylan sang, “the times they are a-changin'.” So they are for today's worldwide manufacturing industry, which is in the midst of extraordinary change: technology, globalization and competition are rapidly and permanently shifting what gets manufactured, as well as how, where and by whom.
These frequently cited and interrelated dynamics are not unique to manufacturing; nonetheless, their combined and simultaneous impact on the industry has been formidable.
On Tuesday, Oct. 11 the Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce will host a conference on manufacturing and doing business in a global economy, "Taking Your Business from Surviving to Thriving: Bringing Manufacturing Back Home" from 7:30am to 11:30am at the Makray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington.
The featured speakers will explore key questions facing business leaders working to connect locally and succeed globally:
• What are the current forces influencing import and export trade and the proven strategies for success?
• What you should know about federal, state, and local resources available for your company to begin international trading?
• How will you ride the next wave of innovation to secure a place in the global economy?
The featured speakers are local and regional experts in manufacturing, trade and global marketing and competition, including:
Curt Wilson, President of Kernow Capitol Corporation in Barrington;
Harry Moser, President and Founder of Reshoring Initiative in Inverness;
Rand Haas, President of Medusa Consulting Group in Medinah;
Mohammed Faheem, Manager at the Illinois workNet Center in Arlington Heights;
Jack Dye, Project Director at Applied Strategies International;
Michael Howard, Regional Director/Midwest from EXIM Bank of the United States in Chicago;
John Nevell, Regional Manager/Interna-tional Trade for the US Small Business Administration in Chicago;
