About the event
Reshoring is the practice of bringing manufacturing and services back to the U.S. from overseas. Texas, in particular, has been a top destination for jobs coming back stateside as a result of reshoring.
According to Larry Gigerich, executive managing director at site selection firm Ginovus, “Within Texas, both Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio could be the biggest beneficiaries of reshoring.”
