These excerpts taken from the SMG 10-K filed Dec 3, 2008. Manufacturing and
Distribution
We manufacture products for our Global Consumer business in
North America at our facilities in Marysville, Ohio,
Fort Madison, Iowa, Albany, Oregon and Temecula,
California, as well as at a number of third-party contract
packer facilities in the United States and Canada. In addition,
the Company manufactures growing media products in 27 regional
facilities located throughout North America. We also own five
production facilities for our wild bird food operations in
Indiana, South Dakota, South Carolina and Texas. The primary
distribution centers for our Global Consumer business in North
America are managed by the Company and strategically placed
across the United States.
We manufacture the non-growing media products for our Global
Consumer business internationally at our facilities in Howden,
the United Kingdom and Bourth, France. We also utilize a number
of third-party contract packers. The primary distribution
centers for our Global Consumer business internationally are
located in the United Kingdom, France and Germany and are
managed by a logistics provider.
The growing media products for our international Global Consumer
business are produced at our facilities in Hatfield and Sutton
Bridge, both in the United Kingdom, and Hautmont, France, and at
a number of third-party contract packer facilities. These
growing media products are generally shipped direct without
passing through a distribution center.
We also manufacture horticultural products for our Global
Professional business at a leased fertilizer manufacturing
facility in Charleston, South Carolina and a Company-owned site
in Heerlen, the Netherlands. The remaining products for our
Global Professional businesses are produced at other
Company-owned facilities and subcontractors in the United States
and Europe.
The majority of shipments to customers are made via common
carriers or through distributors in the United States and
through a network of public warehouses and distributors in
Europe. We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market
prices of diesel fuel, which our common carriers pass on to the
Table of Contents
Company in the form of fuel surcharges. When appropriate, the
Company will hedge a portion of these indirect fuel costs to
improve predictability and control costs.
