A study released last month by BIIA member Panjiva, a company who advises 2,000 mostly American importers on how to locate overseas suppliers, found that slightly more than half of the importers interviewed had expressed a desire to increase purchases from other Asian nations, notably India, Vietnam and Thailand. But that has not yet translated into shifts in outsourcing. Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva stated recently “When it comes to moving manufacturing beyond China, there’s still more talk than action.”
