Abstract
With recent announcements by Apple, GE and Ford stating their plans to bring some or all of their manufacturing back home, Colliers International and the Manufacturing & Industrial Community of CoreNet Global's UK Chapter set out to explore whether this is the start of a new trend which could start to happen in Europe. The findings were presented at the 2013 CoreNet Global EMEA summit in Amsterdam, specifically addressing the re-shoring or repatriation of offshore manufacturing back to companies’ home countries or regions.
