Over the years, the company has picked up multiple different car lines, a lot more product offerings, technology advancements have been introduced to the US car makers, and because of that, the name of Yuzaki has grown into the largest warehiders manufacturer globally. CCC is a small part of that. We are a resource to Yuzaki. We make the electrical terminals that go into the harnesses. We are one of four Yuzaki stamping companies globally. We are also the largest. We have 110,000 square feet of building. 80,000 of that is manufacturing square footage. We have another 20,000 square footage of warehouse space, and then we have 10,000 dedicated to office. Being part of the vertically integrated Yuzaki corporation, we are one step in the manufacturing process of a harness. A little over half of our terminals end up shipping to Yuzaki companies. Some of the most advanced technology we have on the floor has to do with our vision systems. Every one of our presses is equipped with a winder that takes the terminal and puts it on the reels, and before it goes on the reels, it passes through a vision system, which is a combination of two to three different cameras that look at the parts to make sure that they're being made properly. Other high-tech machinery that we use is the stamping press itself. We're running presses that are over 30 years old because we can take them completely apart and rebuild them to put them back into a new condition. Other impressive technology is the fact that we have three in-house plating lines. Some of the product we buy bare material, we form the terminal, and then send it upstairs to the plating operation where they will apply 10, in some cases gold, and in some cases silver. It's a big advantage for us because we can get it done way more efficiently than shipping it out, and way more cost-effectively. We have approximately 155 employees right now. Over 60% of those employees have been here from five years to up to 40 years. A third of them have been here over 15 years. It's a culture that really works well together, that really cares about the performance and about the product and about the company. The culture is our strength. The people are our strength, and we're fortunate enough to have a very experienced and very dedicated workforce. As Yuzaki grows and picks up new products, new car lines, we have to be able to support them, and we are in a position right now to do just that. I would personally invite anybody that gets the opportunity to come off and take a look at us. I think you'll be surprised at some of the things that go on up here. I think you'll be impressed by the technology, and I know you'll be blown away by our people.
