True.... the Lifesavers is in Canada.

And SCS and HMI are 1/2 their former selves and mostly just fired people, though they have a facilities in Mexico they have yet to really make the move.

SCS has hinted at moving off shore and keeping their HQ in Grand Rapids.

I was more appalled at the manufacturing downturn in West Michigan. I don't have answers.

It is the office furniture industry.

Office furniture is the most descretionary expense some companies have. On a remodel job, a company can wait a long time before getting rid of "outdated" furniture.

Also, the ICE MOUNTAIN water bottling plant?

Are you referring to the Big Rapid's water plant what was shut down because of environmental pressure regarding "stealing of ground water"?
