Central New York

New York State
New York State’s major market proximity and superior transportation infrastructure, encompassing more than 240,000 miles of interstate, state and local highways—as well as commercial service airports, ports and harbors—help get your products to market quickly and affordably – no matter how large or technically advanced. The State's innovation support programs through the Empire State Development Division of Science, Technology & Innovation provide a valuable resource for manufacturers that are re-shoring or moving towards higher technology manufacturing. The State works with the national Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program to provide local resources to manufacturing businesses.
Reshoring the USA
The Reshoring Initiative is focused on helping US companies shift collective thinking from “offshoring is cheaper” to “local reduces the total cost of ownership.” The initiative assists manufacturers and suppliers in making sourcing decisions by providing valuable tools and resources, so companies make their case to re-shore. Taro is proud to be a part of this initiative in maintaining America.
