PART I
In January 2007, we announced plans to realign certain North America distribution operations. This initiative included the building of a new
distribution center in Zanesville, OH, which we opened in 2009. We have closed our distribution branch in Newark, DE. Additionally, we
closed our distribution branch in Glenview, IL in mid-2010. Both properties are listed for sale.
In January 2008, we announced plans to realign certain Latin America distribution and manufacturing operations. We are building a new
distribution center in Brazil that is expected to open in 2011. We will phase-out our current distribution center in Sao Paulo, Brazil during
2011. In addition, we are opening a new distribution center in Colombia during 2011. During 2008, we transferred production from our
manufacturing facility in Guatemala to our facility in Mexico.
In July 2009, we announced plans to realign manufacturing operations in North America and Europe. This initiative includes the closing of
manufacturing facilities in Springdale, OH in 2012 and the sale of the property in Germany.
