"We're located in Sugar Land industrial park. There's a lot of major companies here. It's a small city environment, but they also have a lot of different industries. Our business model is more international, so it is a good base. We are a suburb of Houston, the boundary of Houston is five minutes away. You can see the residential area is really growing."
