US Small Business Administration Launches Onshoring Portal

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has launched the Make Onshoring Great Again Portal, a free tool designed to help small businesses identify US manufacturers and producers. With a database of more than 1 million American suppliers, the portal is expected to help job creators source domestic suppliers to support their operations – which will in turn support US jobs, and reconnect supply chains with U.S-based production.

According to SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “The Make Onshoring Great Again Portal will give job creators a direct line to more than one million domestic suppliers – replacing foreign dependence with access to American-made solutions. It’s a decisive step toward rebuilding our nation’s strength through stronger supply chains, better products, and a renewed commitment to American industry, small business, and workers.”
The SBA is working with several private-sector cosponsors to provide public access to three free databases representing more than 1 million US based manufacturers, producers, and suppliers.

According to SBA Atlantic Regional Administrator Matt Coleman, who oversees the federal agency’s operations throughout New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Made in America Onshoring Portal builds on the SBA’s ongoing commitment to revitalizing American industry.

“Earlier this year, the SBA launched the federal government’s Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, which is aimed at expanding access to capital for US manufacturers, promoting a skilled workforce, and cutting $100 billion in red tape. Made in America is putting our Main Streets first by rebuilding our supply chain, creating good paying jobs, and unleashing economic growth,” Coleman said.
