Globalization is being restructured. Trade tensions, rising logistics costs, and geopolitical risks have pushed companies to localize or "nearshore" their production.
Yet, high-precision machining remains heavily dependent on Asia - especially China - due to technical expertise and supply chain depth.
For example:
- U.S. buyers are shifting general components to Mexico, Vietnam, or China (for high-precision parts).
- European companies are working with Poland, Czech Republic, and China to maintain quality-cost balance.
- Many firms adopt a dual sourcing strategy: keeping one supplier in Asia and another closer to home for risk diversification.
