Why reshoring apparel manufacturing activities to Québec make sense…
As the pandemic lags on, many apparel brands are reevaluating their sourcing strategies to respond more efficiently to the demand.
More and more US companies are moving their production and manufacturing facilities back home, to North America, because of supply issues, rising costs, and insufficient production capacity abroad.
Montréal’s manufacturing ecosystem is the perfect solution for US apparel brands looking for a remarkable price-performance ratio within North America. Montréal is one of the three largest cities in North America for clothing manufacturing, along with Los Angeles and New York. With over 7,000 stakeholders, including manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, distributors and creators, this strategic pillar of the Québec economy generates some 50,000 jobs.
