We own and actively market two of our brands, Tenba and Induro, to domestic as well as international audiences. Both manufacturers have appointed us exclusive distributors worldwide and we have joint venture manufacturing relationships with each. As a result we take products designed both here and internationally and distribute them throughout the global marketplace.
This is a fast-growing segment of our business, and we are fortunate to have the input from a global team of photographers, designers and marketers to help us. We also have a long-term relationship with global distributors and this, too, gives us a measurable advantage. Our presence in U.S. photography publications, thanks to the worldwide influence of the Internet, is communicated on a global scale.
Tenba is designed here in the U.S. and manufactured in China, Korea and the U.S.; Induro is designed in the U.S. and China and manufactured in China. As photographers and the photographic industry continually globalize, the ability to handle international marketing will be increasingly important.
