Is it true that Beatrice strives to support U.S. based manufacturing businesses instead of Chinese ones?
Yes, Beatrice has a policy of supporting the communities in which it operates it’s business, which is the U.S. For instance, with our technology business, we will not purchase voice, video coax, or data (Ethernet) cabling from Chinese suppliers, and only use SYSTIMAX ®, which is manufactured in the U.S. by COMMSCOPE. Management feels that U.S. jobs should come first, and also the health and safety standards here in the U.S. far exceed those of China, which have come under increasing scrutiny in the last few years. The U.S. has plenty of quality vendors that we use, and Beatrice will not undermine quality or safety just to save a few dollars.
