Championing American Suppliers
IQS Directory has always prioritized U.S.-based manufacturers. Over 99% of our listed companies operate within the United States, with a select few Canadian firms maintaining U.S. locations or distribution centers. Our entire platform, from our industry-targeted microsites to each supplier profile, is designed to highlight domestic industrial capacity and simplify U.S. sourcing.
This longstanding focus directly supports SBA-aligned goals such as:
- Enhancing visibility for U.S. manufacturers
- Driving reshoring and supply chain resilience
- Promoting small business access to procurement opportunities
- Encouraging supplier participation in federal and export programs
Buyers can use IQS confidently, knowing they’re engaging with a network built around American manufacturing—without wading through offshore listings or irrelevant results.
Why It Matters
Today’s manufacturing marketplace is under growing pressure to localize production and reduce overseas dependency. Unlike many directories that list international vendors, IQS is intentionally focused on U.S.-operating manufacturers. That makes it easier for engineers and sourcing managers to meet internal reshoring goals while supporting national industrial strength.
In addition, IQS publishes resource hubs dedicated to reshoring advocacy, case studies, and educational content promoting domestic production.
Additional IQS Benefits
Through its suite of services, IQS Directory helps small and midsize manufacturers:
- Compete digitally through search-optimized directory listings
- Attract RFQs from motivated, high-intent industrial buyers
- Improve rankings with keyword-rich microsites and category targeting
- Gain exposure via non-advertiser listings, editorial features, and partnerships
Our in-house marketing services also provide SEO support, keyword planning, performance tracking, and backlinking strategies, ensuring that listed suppliers don’t just appear online, but stand out.
