Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois are the heart of US industry. Their factories buy components, materials and equipment - and increasingly from Europe.
The Midwestern states produce cars, machinery, furniture and food. Behind every factory is a supply chain that needs components, and diversifying the supply chain is on the agenda here: dependence on Asia is being deliberately reduced.
In our database we see Midwestern buyers especially densely in the metal, plastics and machine-component categories.
The Midwest is inland: goods arrive at an East Coast port and travel on by rail or truck. Norfolk and Baltimore are good gateways, as is Montreal via Canada. Inland transport adds cost, but stable volumes make it plannable.
Chicago is the region's logistics center, and many importers keep their warehouse right there.
If you are a subcontractor who produces to drawings, the Midwest is your natural market. The buyer there values engineering competence and delivery precision, and pays for it. We can show which factories already buy from Europe today.
The first consultation is free: together we'll see who in the US already buys your product and how to reach them.
