Sam heard about athe company's adoption of "lean" -- efficiency -- techniques and toured the state-of-the-art facility.  He also had a chance to hear about the company's commitment to the community.  Leatherman has promised to keep its manufacturing in Portland - saying it's both the smart and the right thing to do.  As part of the commitment, Leatherman focuses their outreach locally by sponsoring a local elementary school, and supporting Mercy Corps, the Mt.
