The biggest potential beneficiaries from the anticipated resurgence of U.S. manufacturing include U.S.-based small and midsize industrial suppliers and distributors, according to a white paper from The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC, the Boston-based equity manager for BNY Mellon.

"This is among the factors that have helped to drive down the labor costs in the U.S. versus many other countries, reducing corporations' incentives for sending production outside the U.S."
