Item 2. Properties.
On December 31, 2018, we had approximately 132 manufacturing and processing facilities in 52 countries and 123 distribution centers and depots worldwide. During 2018, we disposed of 6 manufacturing facilities mainly in business divestitures and we increased the number of distribution facilities by 15 primarily due to the addition of several small storage locations included within the distribution centers we own or lease. In addition to our owned or leased properties listed below, we also utilize a highly distributed network of warehouses and distribution centers that are owned or leased by third party logistics partners, contract manufacturers, co-packers or other strategic partners. We believe we have or will add sufficient capacity to meet our planned operating needs. It is our practice to maintain all of our plants and other facilities in good condition.
