It is hard to determine the exact number of suppliers in this industry; but, in general, majority of them are in Asian countries that can provide low-cost raw materials to US-based apparel stores. Therefore, the US apparel stores may acquire higher net profi

Andrews Corporation is a multimillion dollar company that was designed when the parent company was mandated by the SEC in a monopoly settlement. This action resulted in six smaller companies. Along with the other five companies when the government split a monopoly into identical competitors, Andrews manufactures and sells sensors in five diverse market segments.

By lifung.com being flexible and innovative it allowed them to reach even more businesses.
