manufacturing hub
Production activity center
A manufacturing hub is a region or city where industrial production concentrates, typically because of favorable conditions like infrastructure, labor supply, or proximity to resources.
The term often appears in discussions of economic geography and globalization: Shenzhen became a manufacturing hub for electronics.
A hub implies not just production but centrality—goods and expertise flowing in and out.
