Key elements of Crimson's value-added capabilities include:

1) Access to Global Network: Crimson's global footprint provides our portfolio companies with access to a global network of leading suppliers, customer prospects and distribution partners. In addition, we leverage our extensive Asia network to access the region's expertise in manufacturing, engineering and outsourced services including production and process technologies and highly efficient supply chain capabilities .

2) Assistance in Building Cost-Effective International Operations: Crimson has been instrumental in helping many of our portfolio companies achieve significant advantages by establishing sales, marketing, sourcing, design, production, and service centers in Asia. Crimson has extensive experience gaining access to preferred industrial parks, negotiating favorable financial incentives to establish offshore operations as well as accessing the most advantageous sourcing, production and shipping locations. By virtue of the accumulated experience and negotiating leverage created by having over 27 portfolio companies with operations in Greater China, the financial incentives and access that Crimson has helped its portfolio companies achieve are often significantly more favorable than mid-sized U.S. companies achieve on their own.
