Manufacturers face ongoing supply chain disruptions, shortages and geopolitical risks. Lisa Anderson explains why resilience, diversified sourcing and greater supply chain control are essential to staying ahead.
Supply chain leaders are navigating congestion, energy challenges, inventory imbalances and global disruptions. An expert panel explores opportunities in technology, predictive analytics, supply chain visibility, reshoring and nearshoring to build greater resilience and control.
Global volatility and supply chain disruptions are reinforcing the need for greater control over manufacturing. Learn how reshoring, nearshoring, strategic capacity and stronger supply networks can improve resilience and position companies for future opportunities.
Supply chain disruptions continue at a rapid pace as geopolitical tensions, transportation bottlenecks, inflation and global shortages create new risks. Proactive companies are responding by expanding U.S. manufacturing, reshoring and nearshoring, diversifying supply and investing for long-term resilience.
Lisa Anderson participated on a panel discussion to discuss nearshoring in the Medtech industry with Steven A. Colantuoni, Director of Corporate Marketing, The Central American Group, Yarisol Lopez, Deputy Executive Director, National Free Zones Council of the Dominican Republic, and Carlos Wong, Managing Director, Coyol Free Zone (Costa Rica).
U.S. manufacturing is gaining momentum as companies rethink global supply chains and reduce risk. Accelerating reshoring, expanding domestic manufacturing capacity, investing in technology, and strengthening critical industries can improve resilience and support long-term growth.
Escalating tensions between China, Taiwan and the U.S. are adding to global supply chain risk. Lisa Anderson discusses why technology manufacturers are looking to move production out of China to reduce disruption, strengthen supply continuity and gain greater control over customer service.
"There is no doubt that tech manufacturing wants to move out of China. They cannot afford the risk of continued disruption to supply, and they want to gain better control over their ability to serve customers," said Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group."

I went to Costa Rica with my brother and nephew, and so I've been thinking about the amazing Costa Rican biodiversity, beaches, birds and biotech manufacturing.
