LeDoux: “We have about 80 employees working for us in our roughly 100,000-sq.-ft.manufacturing facility in Lugano, Switzerland, servicing the needs of Asia, Europe and the Middle East.We have about 180,000 square feet of manufacturing in Vista, California, in northern San Diego County.Our cor- porate offices are located in Carlsbad,which is the neighboring community of Vista.We have about 200 people working in the U.S., including sales, research, production, procurement, analytical testing, etc.And then,we also have a sales office in Yokohama, Japan, which services the unique needs of Japan and the Far East. So, there are almost 300 people work- ing for us around the globe, and our revenues last year were just over $130,000,000.We’re entering, now, our 39 th year of operations,which is extremely gratifying.”
