This case deals with H&R, a business that distributes stitching equipment in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its future is in danger because of fundamental changes in the global stitching businesses stemming from changes in trade restrictions. The result is that Canadian sewing activities are in decline as tasks in low-cost foreign countries grow quickly.
As Canadian tasks decrease, H&R's operation has been enduring. The case asks what third generation owner and the new CEO should do to conserve the business.
