With the latest round of tariffs from the Trump administration in early April 2025, investors and business owners alike are reckoning with the idea that the policy is encouraging a repatriation of manufacturing to the U.S. Should American firms that engage other countries to complete crucial manufacturing work offshore instead decide to build up manufacturing infrastructure domestically in order to avoid dealing with high tariffs on global imports, there will undoubtedly be a surge in demand for technologies and tools that make automation more readily achievable.
A number of robotics companies—centered both within the U.S. and abroad—provide software and products that could be crucially important for new U.S.-based manufacturing operations across a host of industries. These companies include Aeva Technologies Inc. (NYSE: AEVA), Zebra Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: ZBRA), and FANUC Corp. (OTCMKTS: FANUY).
