From PCs to printers, HP’s unique products require a vast network of suppliers and partners spanning six continents, over 41 countries and territories, and with over half of our manufacturing suppliers based in Asia Pacific. We have approximately 800 manufacturing suppliers and several thousand non-manufacturing suppliers that provide goods and services in support of our operations, and we disclose the names of our key manufacturing suppliers. We utilize a significant number of outsourced manufacturers (“OMs”) around the world to manufacture HP-designed and -branded products. This helps us maintain flexibility in our supply chain and manufacturing processes. In some circumstances, products designed and produced by third-party suppliers are sold under the HP brand. We also manufacture, or our OMs manufacture on our behalf, finished products from components and sub assemblies that we acquire from a wide range of suppliers. We have direct business relationships with suppliers that represent up to four tiers of manufacturing, including materials, components, sub-assemblies, branded components, and final assembly suppliers
