Why Now
The U.S. manufacturing sector is at a turning point.
The CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and reshoring trends are pushing production back to U.S. soil
Labor shortages have become a critical bottleneck, threatening growth
AI and automation adoption is surging—but most SMEs still lack the resources to implement it
TechVisor sits squarely at the intersection of this opportunity, delivering the labor-saving technology U.S. manufacturers need—at a price point they can afford.
