At Firstronic, a Grand Rapids, Mi-based electronics contract manufacturer, reshoring isn't just a talking point; it has become the company's major source of business growth. Over the past year, the company has won both onshore and offshore business. What is most significant is that the bulk of this production is being exported to other countries. Of the five programs ramping in 2013, four involve shipping product produced in Michigan to Mexico, China, Korea, or India. The sixth program involved moving work back from China. The total incremental export business that is currently ramping up will represent approximately $12 million in sales in 2013 and $30 million annually in sales longer term.
