Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative
Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing
Scott Paul and Harry Moser will join NPE 2015: The International Plastic Showcase to talk about the future of American manufacturing. Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), and Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, call for manufacturing policy that shifts production back to the United States. Without more manufacturing, it will be virtually impossible to rebuild the middle class, reduce the trade deficit, or innovate the next amazing generation of products,” said Paul. “And smart observers have noted that the ‘race to the bottom’ isn’t the only way to compete in manufacturing. We know America will never win such a race, nor should it want to. On the other hand, America is very good at winning races to the top.”
Paul and Moser are co-authors of ReMaking America, AAM’s second volume of domestic manufacturing policy recommendations. Edited by award-winning journalist Richard McCormack, it demonstrates how American manufacturing can thrive and grow stronger if U.S. lawmakers enact meaningful policy change now.
“We can start the race to the top even under current policy. About 25% of the production that we have lost to offshore would come back now if companies used more sophisticated sourcing decision criteria. The Reshoring Initiative provides an online Total Cost of Ownership Estimator™ that is free for all users.”
NPE attendees are invited to visit AAM’s booth S32181 to talk with the authors and receive a signed copy of ReMaking America during the show.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, calls for manufacturing policy that garners broad public support and shifts economic policy back to favoring domestic production to create an America that is truly built to last.
Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, details the true costs of offshore production, helping companies see they can be more profitable by reshoring some of what is now produced offshore.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS:
The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) is a non-profit, non-partisan partnership formed in 2007 by a group of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers. The AAM's mission is to strengthen American manufacturing and create new private-sector jobs through smart public policies. The AAM states that an innovative and growing manufacturing base is vital to America’s economic and national security, as well as to providing good jobs for future generations.
The Reshoring Initiative is a non-profit association supported by a broad range of manufacturing trade associations, manufacturing companies and banks. mission is to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. by shifting collective thinking from offshoring is cheaper to local often reduces the total cost of ownership.
