Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. Restructuring Activities From time to time, the Company will initiate various restructuring programs and incur severance and other restructuring costs. The following table details restructuring charges incurred by segment for the periods presented:
| Years Ended December 31,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Energy | $ | (712 | ) |  | $ | 668 |  |  | $ | 2,668 |
Engineered Systems | 6,598 |  |  | 7,458 |  |  | 1,193 |
Printing & Identification | 3,772 |  |  | 5,753 |  |  | 38 |
Communication Technologies | 16,251 |  |  | 5,525 |  |  | 1,684 |
Total | $ | 25,909 |  |  | $ | 19,404 |  |  | $ | 5,583 |
These amounts are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows:
Cost of goods and services | $ | 12,098 |  |  | $ | 3,935 |  |  | $ | 2,243 |
Selling and administrative expenses | 13,811 |  |  | 15,469 |  |  | 3,340 |
Total | $ | 25,909 |  |  | $ | 19,404 |  |  | $ | 5,583 |
The restructuring charges of $25,909 incurred in 2013 relate to restructuring programs initiated during 2013 and 2012. These programs are designed to better align the Company's operations with current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other measures to further optimize operations. The Company expects to incur restructuring charges of approximately $5.0 million to $15.0 million in 2014 in connection with the above-mentioned projects, as well as certain other programs to be initiated during the year to rationalize headcount and optimize operations in a few select businesses. We anticipate that much of the benefit of the 2013 and 2014 programs will be realized over the remainder of 2014 and into 2015. We also expect to fund the remainder of the 2013 programs currently underway, as well those commenced in 2014, over the next 12 to 18 months. In light of the economic uncertainty in certain of our end markets and our continued focus on improving our operating efficiency, it is possible that additional programs may be implemented throughout the remainder of 2014. The $25,909 of restructuring charges incurred during 2013 included the programs as described below.
• | The Energy segment recorded a net restructuring benefit of $712, that included a net gain on sale of three buildings relating to facility consolidations within the production sector undertaken to optimize cost structure.
• | The Engineered Systems segment incurred net restructuring charges of $6,598 in connection with certain facility consolidations and optimizations and headcount reductions undertaken to optimize its cost structure.
• | The Printing & Identification segment incurred restructuring charges of $3,772 relating to exit plans at targeted facilities, which included certain adjustments and offsets to previously recorded reserves.
• | The Communication Technologies segment incurred restructuring charges of $16,251 related principally to a facility consolidation in its capacitor business and headcount reductions in connection with integration activities within its consumer electronic business.
Restructuring expenses incurred in 2012 and 2011 also included targeted facility consolidations at certain businesses. The following table details the Company’s severance and other restructuring accrual activity:
