Strong Growth Potential As Manufacturers Move Back To US – Brown Advisory
5 April 2013

This, the firm said, means that the country offers investors strong and sustainable growth potential . Brown reports that, in the past two years, many global manufacturers have “re-shored” to the US, taking advantage of the dollar’s weakness relative to the euro and the yuan, competitively priced real estate in rural areas (compared to coastal China), and labour and energy costs.
