There’s been somewhat of an onshoring trend across the American automotive manufacturing industry in recent years. On one hand, domestic automotive companies and parts vendors are striving to meet United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) requirements – potentially earning a number of tax incentives in the process.
Simultaneously, the industry is continuing its response to several years of supply chain disruptions which threw the entire market out of sync. In both cases, American automotive machining companies like Creed Monarch are stepping up to the plate, offering sustained quality and reliability backed by superior service.
Meeting USMCA Requirements in Automotive Manufacturing (Formerly NAFTA)
The USMCA (which replaced NAFTA) has significantly impacted the automotive manufacturing industry. Put into effect July 1, 2020, the USMCA creates new rules of origin (ROOs) and labor value content (LVC) requirements, amongst many other unique requirements. Creed Monarch offers extensive experience working with automotive and commercial equipment customers to achieve all relevant USMCA requirements.
Essentially, various government policies and reshoring incentives continue to focus on strengthening domestic manufacturing and the overall supply chain. That fosters a favorable business environment between automotive sellers and U.S. machining companies. In many cases there may be tax credits, reduced import fees and tariffs, or other financial incentives for U.S. based companies that embrace the North American supply chain instead of contracting with overseas machine shops. It’s one of the many reasons domestic manufacturers continually turn to Creed Monarch.
