Love All is a fairly large company manufacturing hockey equipment, located in Toronto. The company manufactures hockey sticks, pucks, clothing, and skates, all bearing the company's distinctive logo, a large green question mark on a white flocked hockey puck. The company's sales have been increasing over the past 10 years.
The hockey sticks division has recently implemented several advanced manufacturing techniques. Robot arms hold the hockey sticks in place while the glue dries, and machine vision systems check for defects. The engineering and design team uses computerized drafting and testing of new products.
