We believe that a key to continued success is our ability to meet customer
requirements both domestically and internationally. We have and will continue
to improve our world-wide sales and distribution channels in order to provide
wider market coverage and to improve the effectiveness of our customers’
supply chain. For example, our medical device assembly operation in Shanghai,
China, serves our global medical customers, our service center in Singapore
improves our capabilities in Asia for our temperature sensor customers, and
our marketing representative office in Bangalore, India, facilitates marketing
opportunities in India. Other enhancements include combining sales and marketing
forces of our operating units where appropriate, cross-training our sales representatives
on multiple product lines, and cross-stocking our spares and components.
We also monitor safety metrics to ensure compliance. We are currently the sole
supplier of combustible casings utilized by the U.S. Armed Forces. Sales are
made either directly to the U.S. Department of Defense or through prime contractors,
Alliant Techsystems and General Dynamics. These products include the combustible
case for the U.S. Army’s new generation 155mm Modular Artillery Charge
System, the 120mm combustible case used with the main armament system on the
U.S. Army and Marine Corps’ M1-A1/2 tanks, and the 60mm, 81mm and 120mm
combustible mortar increments. We are one of two suppliers to the U.S. Army
of infrared decoy flares used by aircraft to help protect against radar and
infrared guided missiles. We are currently the only supplier to the U.S. Army
of countermeasures against radar based threats.
