IT’S TIME TO BUY AMERICAN. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
U.S. companies have sought to reduce business expenses by offshoring their manufacturing facilities to countries with lower production and labor costs. Globalization accelerated in the 1990s, creating a complex embedded system of supply networks spread across multiple countries. However, recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and associated labor shortages have revealed the vulnerabilities of these networks, prompting manufacturers to rethink their manufacturing and supply chain strategies.

These experiences have prompted manufacturers, including Hardinge, to return some production resources back to the U.S. to build resiliency and consistency into their supply chains. As a result, customers are rediscovering the advantages of choosing U.S. made products versus those from overseas suppliers – especially for the long run.

In early 2021, Hardinge moved the manufacture of our Bridgeport Vertical Machining Centers and Hardinge CNC Lathes from Taiwan to Elmira, New York. This move allowed us to consolidate product development, supply chain, and assembly operations for Hardinge’s Americas and Europe turning and milling business to a single U.S. based location. We also invested heavily in modernizing the Elmira facility with new assembly capabilities and state-of-the-art heat treatment equipment. The facility is now one of the world’s most advanced manufacturing plants for precision tools, capable of producing the highest quality precision tooling in the industry.
