as the market leader. We are growing in Canada by about 20% per year and
continue to build a strong presence in every market we enter. Operating
as part of Samsung's Americas group, our Canadian operations gain considerable
competitive advantage from Samsung's local Americas R&D, manufacturing,

has grown 61% since 1992. Samsung has introduced a wide range of IS products
into the Canadian market, which include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives,
