Established in 1986, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. was the first wholly owned US-based Toyota manufacturing plant. To date, it is the largest manufacturing facility located outside Japan. The models that are being manufactured in this plant include the 2013 Avalon, Avalon Hybrid Camry, Camry Hybrid, and Venza.

Between 2016 and 2020, some companies invested in U.S. manufacturing and production due to Trump-era tariffs, particularly in industries like steel, aluminum, and electronics. However, the overall impact was mixed, as many companies also faced higher costs or moved production elsewhere. Here are some notable examples:

Companies That Expanded or Invested in the U.S. Due to Tariffs

1. U.S. Steel & Aluminum Companies

U.S. Steel – Restarted blast furnaces in Granite City, Illinois, citing tariffs on imported steel.

Nucor – Announced investments in new mills, including a $1.35 billion plate mill in Kentucky.

Alcoa – Increased domestic production due to aluminum tariffs, benefiting from reduced foreign competition.


2. Auto & Manufacturing Companies

Foxconn – Announced a $10 billion investment in a Wisconsin plant to make LCD screens, partly due to trade tensions with China. However, the project was later scaled back significantly.

General Motors (GM) – Expanded some domestic production, though it also faced higher costs due to steel tariffs.

Tesla – Increased U.S. battery production in Nevada rather than relying on China.


3. Appliance & Consumer Goods Manufacturers

Whirlpool – Benefited from tariffs on imported washing machines and invested in expanding U.S. production.

Caterpillar – Shifted some production to the U.S., but also faced higher costs due to tariffs on steel.


4. Semiconductor & Tech Companies

TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) – Announced plans for a $12 billion chip plant in Arizona in 2020, influenced by U.S.-China trade tensions.

Intel – Expanded some U.S. operations in response to concerns over reliance on foreign supply chains.


Challenges & Unintended Consequences

Many foreign automakers (Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz) warned that tariffs made U.S. production less competitive.

Some companies moved production to Mexico, Canada, or Southeast Asia instead of bringing jobs back to the U.S. (e.g., Harley-Davidson shifted some manufacturing to avoid EU retaliatory tariffs).

U.S. farmers suffered due to retaliatory tariffs from China, requiring government subsidies to offset lost exports.


While tariffs encouraged some domestic investment, they also raised costs for many industries, making it a mixed outcome rather than a clear success.
