Current Trends • Manufacturing volumes in many sectors are moving offshore, particularly Asia. • Companies are mapping their supply chain to reflect commodity flows, transportation, labor and proximity to customers. • Supply chain consolidation is supporting “Big Box” regional distribution over smaller feeder warehouses that supply fewer customers. • Big Box distribution by importers combined with a 2000 Amendment to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act providing for weekly entry is spurring growth in the program by a new profile of users.
