Supply Chain Tips: How Nearshoring Boosts Business Growth

Joe McDevitt • April 30, 2025

What Is Nearshoring?

Nearshoring is a strategy where companies move production or services closer to their domestic market. Instead of offshoring to distant countries, they pick nearby nations. For example, a U.S. company might move manufacturing from China to Mexico.


This shift helps companies cut costs and reduce supply chain risks. Shorter distances mean faster deliveries and fewer transportation issues. Plus, working in similar time zones makes communication much easier.


Some companies are even bringing manufacturing back directly into the U.S. One of TLI’s customers, for example, moved a facility from Mexico to Virginia. This change lowered their domestic shipping costs while improving service speed.

Why Nearshoring Is Gaining Popularity

Companies today face new supply chain challenges, namely tariffs. Global disruptions, rising shipping costs, improving robotic automation, and changing regulations push leaders to rethink old strategies. Nearshoring offers a powerful answer.


Manufacturers moving operations into the U.S., Mexico, or Canada enjoy big advantages. They can respond to customer needs faster and avoid many customs headaches. They benefit if their products fall into the USMCA agreement. Plus, closer facilities improve inventory control and reduce risk. Similarly, it has been stated that quality control also is significantly better with many domestic production facilities.


At the same time, managing the supply chain gets much easier. Shorter distances mean fewer freight delays, less damage, and fewer losses. When nearby vendors supply parts or services like assembly or powder coating, production speeds up even more.
