CANADA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Canada resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. Canada has a large oil and natural gas sector with the majority of crude oil production derived from oil sands in the western provinces, especially Alberta. Canada now ranks third in the world in proved oil reserves behind Venezuela and Saudi Arabia and is the world’s sixth-largest oil producer.

The 1989 Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (which includes Mexico) dramatically increased trade and economic integration between the US and Canada. Canada and the US enjoy the world’s most comprehensive and highly balanced bilateral trade and investment relationship, with merchandise trade of $544 billion in 2016, services trade of over $80 billion, and two-way investment stocks of nearly $700 billion. Over three-fourths of Canada’s exports are destined for the US each year. Canada is the largest foreign supplier of energy to the US, including oil, natural gas, and electric power, and a top source of US uranium imports.

Given its abundant natural resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital stock, Canada enjoyed solid economic growth from 1993 through 2007. The global economic crisis of 2007-08 moved the Canadian economy into sharp recession by late 2008, and Ottawa posted its first fiscal deficit in 2009 after 12 years of surplus. Canada's major banks emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the financial sector's tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization. Since the fall in world oil prices in 2014, Canada has achieved modest economic growth.

Implus Announces Acquisition of Spenco Insoles and 2nd Skin

 

Implus Acquires Insole Brand and Medical Adhesive Products

 

June 30, 2016

 

DURHAM, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Implus, a provider of athletic, fitness, and outdoor accessories, today announced the acquisition of the Spenco® insole and 2nd Skin® medical adhesive assets of Spenco Medical Corporation. Spenco’s portfolio of insole assets includes the Total Support®, Spenco RX®, and Polysorb® brands. Its medical adhesives unit includes bandages and gels for the treatment of burns, blisters, and hypertrophic and keloid scars.

 

Spenco’s insole business will be integrated into Implus’ current portfolio of insole products which includes the Sof Sole®, apara®, Airplus®, and Sof Comfort® brands. In conjunction with the transaction, Implus will assume Spenco’s Canadian operation based in Mississauga, Ontario. The remaining Footwear and Silicore® divisions of Spenco were sold to the existing management team and will continue to be run out of Waco, Texas.

 

“Spenco’s tenured legacy in the insole category provides a perfect complement to Implus’ current core product offering,” said Todd Vore, President of Implus. “We’re excited to offer a multi-branded strategy to our retailer customers as we continue to build on our ‘one-stop-shop’ approach for all accessory needs.”

 

Steve Smith, retiring CEO of Spenco Medical Corporation said, “Implus represented a very logical, strong, and strategic partner to carry forward Spenco’s well known world-wide brands of insole and healthcare products while Spenco’s existing Texas-based executives were the perfect choice to continue its footwear and Silicore businesses.”

 

Spenco will operate as a subsidiary of Implus, which is majority owned by Berkshire Partners, a Boston-based investment firm. Spenco represents the 5th acquisition for Implus since Berkshire’s investment in Implus in April 2015.
