Coalition: Supply Chain Disruptions, Labor Shortages Threaten U.S. Manufacturing

The paralyzing blows from the semiconductor chip scarcity haven’t just been limited to automakers. Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and logistical constraints have been decimating the domestic manufacturing sector at a similar clip, as detailed in a recently released white paper by a coalition of four major manufacturing associations.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturing (AHAM) joined three of its sister industry associations – the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM), and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) – urging the Biden administration to take immediate action to address the supply chain challenges that are affecting the viability of the U.S. manufacturing sector.
