RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Beginning in 2014 through 2017, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and various administrative offices located in Europe, South America, China and the United States in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and lower production volumes. The aggregate headcount reduction was approximately 2,750 employees in 2014, 2015 and 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded severance and related costs associated with further rationalizations in Europe, South America and the United States, in connection with the termination of approximately 440 employees.
