Abstract
This research paper explores the production investments made by 18 large manufacturing firms from Denmark, Finland and Sweden over 2005-2015. Archival research is used as the research strategy, utilizing data from a global news database. The research findings support understanding of manufacturing firms searching for a balanced global manufacturing network instead of systematically moving manufacturing either offshore or back. The largest new production investments were made in offshore locations in Asia and South America but the total identified investment volumes of the large Nordic manufacturing firms were equally shared between Europe, Asia and the rest of the world.
