Compass Diversified Holdings's Comment on Supply Chain
Manitoba Harvest and HOCI are strategically located near their supply of hemp
in Canada, the only North American country where it is currently legal to grow
hemp. The commercial cultivation of hemp was authorized in 1998 with the implementation
of the Canadian Industrial Hemp Regulations, which governs the cultivation,
processing, transportation, sale, import and export of industrial hemp. Industrial
hemp is viewed by the Canadian and agricultural industry as a valuable new alternative
crop that complements prairie crop production rotations and offers significant
economic opportunity through numerous end uses. The province of Manitoba and
its surrounding prairie area have emerged as a leading region for growing hemp
due to the ideal agricultural characteristics of the prairie provinces; a long
growing season, sufficient moisture levels, and supportive local governments
that view hemp as a strategic crop. The adaptability of hemp makes it ideal
for areas of the provinces that have limited cropping options and where high
value crops such as edible beans and sunflowers are considered high risk.
Based on its close proximity to many of its growers, Manitoba Harvest has developed
longstanding relationships with hemp suppliers and currently maintains relationships
that provide access to over 60% of the hemp acreage in Canada. Manitoba Harvest
has a rigorous qualification process for its suppliers; maintaining an ongoing
supplier scorecard and choosing to purchase hemp from high quality growers.
With limited exception, farmers working with Manitoba Harvest are exclusive
to them. Manitoba Harvest works with approximately 110 conventional hemp growers
(48,750 acres), approximately 20 organic growers (9,990 acres), and 11 seed
cleaners. As early leaders of the hemp legalization movement, Manitoba Harvest’s
founders have developed in-house expertise on the plant, which they share with
their hemp grower partners to help them achieve optimal yield and quality harvests.
Manitoba Harvest processes 100% of its Hemp Hearts, hemp oil and protein powder
at its dedicated hemp food products manufacturing facility. Manitoba Harvest
has leveraged nearly two decades of hemp food manufacturing expertise and has
worked with research scientists to develop proprietary processing technology
that is specific to hemp. Their facility in Winnipeg is 32,000 square feet and
has an annual processing capacity of 35 million pounds of hemp seed. With the
acquisition of HOCI in December 2015, Manitoba Harvest added a newly constructed
35,000 square foot facility capable of processing 50 million pounds of hemp
seed.
Advanced Circuits’ raw materials inventory is small relative to sales
and must be regularly and rapidly replenished. Advanced Circuits uses a just-in-time
procurement practice to maintain raw materials inventory at low levels. Additionally,
Advanced Circuits has established consignment relationships with several vendors
allowing it to pay for raw materials as used. Because it provides primarily
lower-volume quick-turn services, this inventory policy does not hamper its
ability to complete customer orders.
The primary raw materials that are used in production are core materials, such
as copper clad layers of glass and chemical solutions, and copper and gold for
plating operations, photographic film and carbide drill bits. Multiple suppliers
and sources exist for all materials. Adequate amounts of all raw materials have
been available in the past, and Advanced Circuits’ management believes
this will continue in the foreseeable future. Advanced Circuits works closely
with its suppliers to incorporate technological advances in the raw materials
they purchase. Advanced Circuits does not believe that it has significant exposure
to fluctuations in raw material prices. The fact that price is not the primary
factor affecting the purchase decision of many of Advanced Circuits’ customers
has allowed management to historically pass along a portion of raw material
price increases to its customers. Advanced Circuits does not knowingly purchase
material originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.
Raw materials utilized by Arnold include nickel and cobalt, stainless steel
shafts, Inconel sleeves, adhesives, laminates, aluminum extrusions and binders.
Although Arnold considers its relationships with vendors to be strong, Arnold’s
management team also maintains a variety of alternative sources of comparable
quality, quantity and price. The management team therefore believes that it
is not dependent upon any single vendor to meet its sourcing needs. Arnold is
generally able to pass through material costs to its customers and believes
that in the event of significant price increases by vendors that it could pass
the increases to its customers.
Sterno Products’s product manufacturing is based on a dual strategy of
in-house manufacturing and strategic alliances with select vendors. Sterno Products
operates an efficient, low-cost supply chain, sourcing materials and employing
contract manufacturers from across the Asia-Pacific region and the U.S.
Sterno Products’s primary raw materials are Diethylene glycol, ethanol,
liquid paraffin and steel cans for which it receives multiple shipments per
month. Sterno Products purchases its materials from a combination of domestic
and foreign suppliers.
Tridien’s two primary raw materials used in manufacturing are polyurethane
foam and fabric (primarily nylon and polycarbonate fabrics). Among Tridien’s
largest raw material suppliers are Foamex International, Inc., Carpenter Company,
and Dartex Coatings, Inc. Tridien uses multiple suppliers for foam and fabric
and believes that these raw materials are in adequate supply and are available
from many suppliers at competitive prices.
