State chapter
ReshoreME
ReshoreME exists to help Maine bring manufacturing home through state-level coordination, research, education, partnerships, and practical import-substitution work.
State opportunity
Maine's reshoring opportunity is measurable.
ReshoreME can organize Maine's manufacturers, public leaders, educators, and economic-development partners around a visible $966.0M tier 1-3 reshoring opportunity. The state already has 51,700 manufacturing workers, 2,000 manufacturers, and $8.7B in manufacturing value added. The data also shows $6.0B in imports against $3.2B in exports, creating a $2.8B trade deficit. That makes Maine a practical place to identify import-substitution targets, connect buyers and suppliers, and turn reshoring from a national idea into local projects. The opportunity equals roughly 11% of current manufacturing value added and ranks No. 44 nationally in this dataset.
