We originally started back in 1984 when we had textile manufacturing operations and sewing facilities in Canada. Starting in the 1990s, we started production simultaneously in Central America and the Caribbean basin. Our last operations in Canada were closed in 2007, primarily due to the fact that we were dealing with the competition coming from low-cost imports from Asia.
We've designed our supply chain around the western hemisphere production. Our primary market is in the United States. In 2005, the United States signed a free trade agreement with Central America and the Dominican Republic. As I mentioned, we had started our operations earlier in Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, and one of the key necessities for us was to leverage these existing trade agreements in order to compete against Asian imports.
