CHICAGO—GE Appliances—a Haier company—and custom metal fabricator Marlin Steel Wire Products were named winners of the 2025 National Metalworking Reshoring Awards, given in recognition of both companies’ success in bringing manufacturing to the United States.
The 8th annual awards were presented in September at FABTECH, in Chicago, by Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative.
The awards honor companies that have brought to North America the manufacture of products, parts, or tooling made primarily by metal forming, fabricating, casting, machining, or additive manufacturing.
The awards are sponsored by the Reshoring Initiative; the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA); AMT–The Association For Manufacturing Technology; SME; the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA); and the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association (FMA).
GE Appliances Vice President of Supply Chain, Bill Good, accepted the award on behalf of the 16,000 people who work at GE Appliances.
“We are living in a resurgence of U.S. manufacturing, and I’m so thankful to be part of it,” Good said. “Since 2016, we’ve invested $3.5 billion in our U.S. manufacturing plants. This year, we committed another $3 billion over five years, bringing our total investment to $6.5 billion. This award is also for our over 6,500 suppliers—across all 50 states—who strengthen our supply chain. And, for our partners in government and communities, who’ve stood with us to make these investments possible.
“When we reshore jobs, we don’t just bring back production,” Good continued. “We bring back pride. We bring back capabilities. And we bring back the belief that America can lead the world in making things again.”
Moser noted that GE Appliances won the award “because of the consistency and success of their reshoring. Their reshoring investment and jobs created make them one of the largest of 7,000 known reshoring manufacturers.”
Drew Greenblatt, owner and president, accepted the award on behalf of the 130 Marlin Steel and Madsen Steel workers spanning four states—Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
“Our employees are creative and innovative, coming up with novel ideas to differentiate ourselves from overseas competitors who offer prices below what we pay for steel alone,” Greenblatt said. “Our commitment to quality, on-time delivery and extraordinary service is powering our growth. We literally trademarked Quality Engineering Quick because this is our north star to success. This is how USA factories can accelerate reshoring and bring millions of jobs back from overseas to the USA.”
Moser added, “Marlin won in recognition of their outstanding success demonstrating that automation, engineering, quality, and delivery can enable reshoring, even of high-volume commoditized products.”
The 2026 National Metalworking Reshoring Award will be presented at IMTS 2026 in Chicago. OEMs and contract manufacturers throughout North America are encouraged to apply by May 31, 2026.
