Item 2. Properties.

The Company conducts business at plants and offices that can be owned or leased and located in the U.S. or outside the U.S., with square footage primarily in Germany (12%), U.K. (6%), Italy (5%), India (3%), China (2%), Canada (2%) and The Netherlands (2%). The Company has invested a significant amount of capital to expand both the China and India facilities that will ultimately double the Company’s historic capacity in each of these countries. Otherwise, management considers its facilities suitable and adequate for the Company’s operations and believes the Company can meet demand increases over the near term with its existing facilities, especially given its operational improvement initiatives that usually increase capacity.
