Walmart has enlisted the Reshoring Initiative to be part of a company program that helps suppliers manufacture more products in the U.S. Walmart has committed to increase its U.S. purchases by $50 billion annually by January 2023. "We estimate the company's increased purchases will add 300,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs," said Harry Moser president of the Reshoring Initiative. The new program provides direct, personal access to 35 manufacturing trade associations, companies, banks, U.S. Commerce Department offices and other groups. Each group has assigned dedicated resources to help companies develop and implement plans to produce or source more domestically produced goods. The program launch was coordinated with Walmart's Open Call and U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Bentonville, Arkansas, which was attended by the U.S. Commerce Secretary, two governors and current and prospective suppliers.
