“We are constantly looking at innova-
tive ways to make our products more
user friendly, lighter, using materials
that are stronger, safer, and more du-
rable, not just with equipment, but we
also change in the way we do things.”
However, adds Clemmons, some-
things remain the same. Some prod-
ucts are still made partially by hand
in the Montreal facilities. “If you can
imagine making a belt 30 years ago,
it was all by hand, and we still do that
believe it or not, we still cut the leather
by hand, with very experienced leath-
er craftsmen.”
SETTING THE STANDARD

dance with and meet or exceed appli-
