Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Division to Open New Distribution Facility at Logistics Park Kansas City
Contact: Nicole Randall For Immediate Release (785) 414-0253, [email protected] February 3, 2017 Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Division to Open New Distribution Facility at Logistics Park Kansas City The Kansas Department of Commerce has the pleasure of announcing that Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI) division plans to centralize its operations from two existing distribution facilities in Charlotte, N.C., and Mira Loma, Calif., into a single 927,112 square-foot distribution center at Logistics Park Kansas City (LPKC) in Edgerton, Kan. Construction of the building Spectrum will occupy at LPKC, known as Inland Port XXXIII, began in March 2016. It is Kansas City’s largest-ever to be constructed on a speculative basis. “Spectrum Brands HHI initiated a study of our existing distribution and fulfillment network in December with the intent of identifying the best option for the business to increase distribution capabilities and service levels, provide room for expansion, reduce overall inventory levels, and improve cost management,” said Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Hardware and Home Improvement Phil Szuba. “After completing our analysis, we determined that centralizing distribution operations in Edgerton will enable Spectrum Brands HHI to more efficiently serve our customers with lower inventory levels while establishing a platform for future growth.” Spectrum Brands HHI will begin transitioning operations from California and North Carolina immediately. The company plans to start receiving inventory in Edgerton in March and will start shipping from the new LPKC distribution center in April. When complete, Spectrum Brands will have approximately 315 jobs in the State of Kansas. -

Firstly, to Professor Ana Venâncio for the guidance, time and patience, not only during this project, but also during classes. Secondly, to my family, parents, sister and grandmother, for supporting and believing in me. And last but not least, to my friends, new and old, for the moments shared in these past 2 years. i Abstract The following project is a valuation of the company Hornbach Baumarkt AG, based on publicly available information until the 6th November 2020. It follows the format recommended by the CFA Institute. Hornbach Baumarkt AG was chosen due to the interest in wanting to explore and learn about the DIY sector and by it being the only publicly traded German company. Hornbach Baumarkt AG is a Top 10 player in the DIY Home Improvement sector in Europe. It was created in 1993 after an IPO that saw Hornbach AG being subdivided in Hornbach Holding AG (Parent Company) and Hornbach Baumarkt AG, having the original company being founded in 1877, in Landau, Germany, but only making their first IPO in 1987. Today, Hornbach Baumarkt AG is a Child company of Hornbach Holding AG. The valuation was derived from an intrinsic valuation, based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DFC) method, more specifically, through a Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) perspective. -

Field of Study Focus: Architecture Advising Resource GENERAL DESCRIPTION Architecture Is the Art and Science of Designing Buildings and Structures
Field of Study Focus: Architecture Advising Resource GENERAL DESCRIPTION Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. A wider definition would include the design of the total built environment, from the macrolevel of town planning, urban design, and landscape architecture to the microlevel of creating furniture. Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing form, space, and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, and aesthetic considerations. Architectural design usually must address both feasibility and cost for the builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the user. Some programs are theory-based programs while others are design-based programs. COMMON SPECIALIZATIONS ARCHITECTURAL Emphasizes the engineering aspects of the building design and construction process. This is a multidisciplined engineer- ENGINEERING ing approach with a focus on architecture and design. Architectural Engineering includes the design of building systems including electrical, lighting, heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), and structural systems. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Studies the evolution and history of architecture across the world through a consideration of various influences including artistic, cultural, political, economic, and technological. ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN/ Emphasizes the integration of architecture with the environment to minimize the negative environmental impact of build- SUSTAINABLE DESIGN ings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space. Deals with design that incorporates ecologically sustainable energy and waste systems; energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conserva- tion, indoor air quality, and use of appropriate technology. GENERAL ARCHITECTURE: Prepares one for a professional career as a design specialist or a general practitioner. Employs a range of methodologies, DESIGN, THEORY, METHODS processes and philosophies, techniques, and technologies.
