2013 Restructuring Plan
In 2013 and the first six months of 2014, the Company recorded restructuring costs totaling $2,237,000 related to its 2013 restructuring plan, including severance costs of $1,158,000 associated with the reduction of 22 employees in Brazil and severance costs of $497,000 associated with the reduction of 25 employees in Sweden. Also included in total restructuring costs were facility-related costs of $582,000. These actions were taken to streamline the Company's operations as a result of the acquisitions of Companhia Brasileira de Tecnologia Industrial (CBTI) and certain assets of the Noss Group in 2013. These restructuring charges all occurred in the Papermaking Systems segment.

Included in these restructuring costs were $394,000 of restructuring costs recorded in the first six months of 2014, including facility-related costs of $405,000, net of income from a reduction in severance and associated costs of $11,000 in Sweden.

Also included in these restructuring costs were $1,958,000 of restructuring costs recorded in the first six months of 2013, including $1,330,000 associated with severance and associated costs in Brazil and $628,000 related to severance and associated costs in Sweden.
