Caterpillar, a manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, has emerged as one of the leading proponents of the reshoring movement in the United States. Not only has Cat opened or updated a number of production facilities in the U.S. in recent years, but it has also led to increased hiring of U.S. workers at supplier companies within Cat’s supply chain. The company is also focusing on several supply chain initiatives, including inventory optimization, network modeling and increased visibility.
