Big Ass Fans – Now Made in the USA

Based in Lexington, Kentucky, Big Ass Fans (BAF), a fan, lighting and controls manufacturer, is an example of shifting the manufacture of low-end consumer products back to the US.

BAF made the shift from an all-Asian supply chain to most of its products being manufactured in Lexington.

One of the greatest benefits of reshoring, according to the case study, enabled BAF to create 215 manufacturing jobs in Lexington.
