I don't know for sure. But if Levi Strauss were referring to the other 3 factories being in the United States, they would've probably said "The United States". But they chose to use the more broad "North America" which is why i framed my post in the form of a question.

That was a question for someone who might know more than i do. Do you know for sure that the other 3 factories are all in the USA?

It's a distribution center. That means it's where the customers are, so if they have a distribution center in Mexico, it's because they have customers in Mexico. They're really pretty leftist so most people who wear their product have shifted their purchases to more pro-American companies.

As of 2003,

Bergen says the most challenging part of the technology overhaul was changing from a national distribution system to a regional one. Before, all Levi Strauss 501-style jeans, for example, arrived at stores from four distribution centers in Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada and Arkansas. This wasn't good enough to meet Wal-Mart's demands for rapid-fire replenishment.
