The Make Onshoring Great Again: Handbook is a step-by-step guide developed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP). It delivers the essential tools, checklists, and resources manufacturers need to evaluate the feasibility of onshoring, navigate regulations, access capital, and connect with verified U.S. suppliers.
Through practical guidance and a comprehensive resource directory, the handbook addresses every stage of the onshoring process, from strategic planning and site selection to workforce development and supply chain restructuring. Whether you’re looking to improve quality control, reduce risk, or protect intellectual property, this handbook shows you how to make a competitive and sustainable move toward U.S.-based manufacturing.
