Ep 84: The Hidden Manufacturing Infrastructure Behind Reshoring

from Powder Coater Podcast Hosted by RossKote

Bringing manufacturing back to America sounds promising, but are our factories, equipment, workforce, and industrial support systems ready to handle the demand? In this episode of The Powder Coater Podcast, host Kim Scott welcomes Brandon Acker, President of Titan Abrasive Systems, for a look beyond the headlines of reshoring and into the operational realities of rebuilding domestic manufacturing capacity. From aging infrastructure and production bottlenecks to the often-overlooked importance of abrasive blasting and surface preparation, this conversation explores the challenges that could determine whether American manufacturers can compete on quality, cost, and delivery. For powder coaters, job shops, and manufacturers alike, the bigger question is what it will take to turn reshoring opportunities into sustainable business growth.
