That word you use, "globalization" - I do not think it means what you think it means.
2/3rds of their 70 factories are already outside the US and Canada. So without knowing anything specific, I would be pretty confident that there is something to keep them from moving a given plant, otherwise they would've already done it.
They have factories in these countries, according to official filings:
Argentina
Brazil
Canada
China
Finland
France
Germany
India
Israel
Italy
Mexico
New Zealand
the Netherlands
Russia
Spain
