We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our North American operations include our facilities in Decatur, Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the manufacture of our chemical, glove and disposable products), Celaya, Mexico (primarily disposable, glove and chemical suit production) and Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania (primarily woven products production). We also maintain three manufacturing facilities in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production). Our China facilities and our Decatur, Alabama facility produce themajority of the Company’s products. The accounting policies of these operating entities are the same as those described in Note 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. 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, Chile and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico or China.
