Focusing on Italy’s machinery manufacturing sector, it analyses six case studies to uncover drivers, challenges, and benefits of outsourced reshoring. The research highlights relocations as a strategy for risk mitigation, sustainability, and innovation, offering insights for adapting to the evolving business landscape.
