The Company’s fixed assets include plants and warehouses and a substantial quantity of machinery and equipment, most of which is general purpose machinery and equipment using tools and fixtures and in many instances having automatic control features and special adaptations. The Company’s plants, warehouses and machinery and equipment are generally in good operating condition, are reasonably maintained and substantially all of its facilities are in regular use. The Company considers the present level of fixed assets along with planned capital expenditures as suitable and adequate for operations in the current business environment. At December 31, 2020, the Company operated a total of approximately 480 plants, warehouses and offices of which (a) the locations in the U.S. had approximately 3.9 million square feet, of which approximately 2.0 million square feet were leased; (b) the locations outside the U.S. had approximately 17.6 million square feet, of which approximately 13.6 million square feet were leased; and (c) the square footage by segment was approximately 20.2 million square feet and approximately 1.3 million square feet for the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment and the Cable Products and Solutions segment, respectively. Of the total plants, warehouses and offices operated by the Company, approximately 200 are manufacturing facilities with over 10,000 square feet, of which approximately half are ISO 14001 certified.
The Company believes that its facilities are suitable and adequate for the business conducted therein and are being appropriately utilized for their intended purposes. Utilization of the facilities varies based on demand for the products. The Company continuously reviews its anticipated requirements for facilities and, based on that review, may from time to time acquire or lease additional facilities and/or dispose of existing facilities.
