Food processing and specialty agriculture manufacturing can thrive here, reducing reliance on imports and creating value-added rural jobs. 

Tariffs are reshaping global apparel supply chains. WV can revive its textile heritage with flexible, small-batch U.S. production. 

With proximity to OEM supply chains in Ohio, Michigan, and the Southeast, WV is poised to capture component and advanced materials reshoring. 

WV’s energy resources and industrial history support the return of steel, aluminum, and alloy production—sectors heavily impacted by tariff regimes. 

Household goods, packaging, and durable consumer items face tariff pressure abroad. WV can provide cost-competitive domestic alternatives. 

From circuit assembly to prototyping, small-scale electronics reshoring can plug into WV’s growing tech ecosystem and logistics network. 

Reshoring raw and intermediate materials—from plastics to coatings—reduces U.S. dependence on volatile imports and strengthens WV’s supply base. 

 Heavy equipment and precision tools are prime for reshoring. WV offers skilled labor and industrial capacity to re-energize this sector.

WV’s natural resources can underpin reshored chemical, plastics, and mineral-based manufacturing tied to energy value chains. 

Global drug supply chains face risk from tariffs and security concerns. WV’s chemical valley makes it ideal for pharma ingredients and health products reshoring.
