Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

2021 Restructuring plan

During the first quarter of 2021, we committed to a restructuring plan designed to streamline various business functions across our segments. We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of $7 million to $9 million, consisting primarily of termination benefits. In addition, we expect to incur $3 million to $4 million in restructuring related charges, most of which are expected to be recognized in cost of goods sold. We expect this program will be substantially completed by the end of 2021. As of March 28, 2021, we had a restructuring reserve of $6.4 million related to this plan, all of which related to termination benefits.

Footprint realignment plans

We have ongoing restructuring programs primarily related to the relocation of manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations and related workforce reductions (referred to as the 2019, 2018 and 2014 Footprint realignment plans). The following tables provide a summary of our cost estimates and other information associated with these ongoing Footprint realignment plans:

(1)Includes facility closure, employee relocation, equipment relocation and outplacement costs.

(2)Restructuring related charges represent costs that are directly related to the programs and principally constitute costs to transfer manufacturing operations to the existing lower-cost locations, project management costs and accelerated depreciation. The 2018 Footprint realignment plan also includes a charge associated with our exit from the facilities that is expected to be imposed by the taxing authority in the affected jurisdiction. Excluding this tax charge, substantially all of the restructuring related charges are expected to be recognized within cost of goods sold.
