Manufacturing jobs bring the entire supply chain of the manufacturer with them.

The area where I live, Greenville, SC used to be the textile capital of the world and then became essentially destitute when the entire industry offshored.

BMW and Michelin locating their US HQ here essentially rebuilt this entire corner of the state with jobs and associated supply chains. Now, Greenville is booming with a more diverse economy but all that manufacturing is the root system of prosperity here.
