MFG.com Report Assesses the Impact of President-Elect Trump's Policies on U.S. Manufacturing

January 17, 2017
No Comments

Marietta, Ga. - January 17, 2017 - MFG.com, the world's largest online manufacturing marketplace, announced today the release of its latest report titled "How Will President Trump's Policies Affect U.S. Manufacturing?" Based on a survey of both Buyers (original equipment manufacturers) and Suppliers (small to midsize manufacturers) in the MFG.com marketplace, the report gauges the expected impact of President-elect Donald Trump's proposed policies on U.S. manufacturing and foreign trade, as well as their individual businesses.

According to the report, there is broad-based support for the trade, job and immigration policies the president-elect has proposed. While there is some skepticism from those who invest in offshore sourcing, both Buyers and Suppliers agreed that these new policy directions will have positive impacts for U.S. manufacturing. In addition, when it comes to U.S. manufacturing's relationship with China there is considerable support for labeling China a currency manipulator and for leveling tariffs on Chinese products. While Buyers are resistant to higher tariffs (30 to 45 percent, as stated by the President-elect), both Buyer and Supplier groups voiced support for them even at the risk of potentially higher costs for consumer products and industrial inputs.

Bo Hagler, chief executive officer of MFG.com, said, "With likely plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and implement major tariff and tax law changes, it is crucial to understand the possible impacts facing the manufacturing industry. Having so many manufacturing marketplace members gives us access to wide-ranging individuals and a unique pOréal to their insights, areas of concern and sources of optimism. With this information, we hope to prepare the nation and the manufacturing industry for what is to come and better align ourselves for a more successful future."
