At the Invest in America Forum, Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner reaffirmed the company’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing. Nearly two-thirds of Walmart’s products are made in the U.S., with plans to expand, including a new beef processing facility in Kansas creating over 600 jobs. Furner highlighted the importance of domestic production for jobs and supply chain flexibility.

Walmart is partnering with USAntibiotics to bring back products like amoxicillin to be manufactured in the U.S. While global sourcing remains crucial for Walmart’s operations, Furner emphasized the benefits of investing in U.S. manufacturing for quality and sustainability. The focus on domestic production comes amid trade policy uncertainty, with tariffs and interest rates impacting retailers’ inventory and pricing decisions.

Walmart’s investment in U.S. manufacturing reflects a long-term strategic priority to support employment and enhance supply chain resilience.
