Segment Information |
9. Segment Information The Company is organized into three reportable segments. The segments are defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North American segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada, the European segment, and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Company’s operations in China, Hong Kong, the South Pacific and the Middle East. These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications. The following table illustrates certain measurements used by management to assess the performance as of or for the following periods:
