- Abstract:
The article reports on plans by the American retailer Walmart to engage in contracts with suppliers aimed at purchasing merchandise produced in the U.S. The article explores the transportation and energy cost savings associated with production in the U.S. versus overseas, notes the potential impact of the decision on public relations for the company, and profiles how long-term contracts allow suppliers, such as the U.S. towel manufacturer 1888 Mills, to commit to U.S. production.
