Volume manufacturing and distribution capabilities allow the company to maintain strong quality process controls and realize significant cost efficiencies. Its ability to draw upon the strengths of its global resources, global distribution system and presence in diverse geographies act as significant barriers to entry.
Logitech’s business depends in part on access to third-party platforms or technologies. Its business and operating results could be adversely affected if access is withdrawn, denied, not available on acceptable terms, or if the platforms or technologies change suddenly.
Principal manufacturing operations and third-party contract manufacturers are located in China, which exposes the company to risks associated with doing business in that country. In addition, it conducts operations in a number of countries. The effects of business, legal and political risks associated with international operations could significantly harm the company.
