We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our North American operations include our facilities in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and manufacturing of our chemical suit and fire protective products), and Mexico (primarily disposable, glove, chemical suit, woven, and high visibility production). We also maintain two manufacturing companies in China (primarily disposable, chemical and woven suit production), a wovens manufacturing facility in Brazil and a small manufacturing facility in Argentina. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on operating profit, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense and other income and expenses. We have sales forces in Canada, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, Brazil or China.
