Restructuring Costs

In 2017, the Company constructed a 160,000 square foot manufacturing facility in the United States that will integrate its U.S. and Swedish Papermaking stock-preparation product lines into a single manufacturing facility to achieve economies of scale and greater efficiencies. As a result of the consolidation and integration of these facilities, the Company developed a restructuring plan totaling approximately $1,900,000, primarily related to costs for the relocation of machinery and equipment and administrative offices, severance, and abandonment of leased facilities in the Papermaking Systems segment. As a result of this plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $203,000 in 2017 associated with severance costs for the reduction of four employees in the United States and six employees in Sweden. In the first three months of 2018, the Company recorded additional restructuring costs of $770,000 related to this plan, including $563,000 for the relocation of machinery and equipment and administrative offices, and $210,000 associated with employee retention costs and abandonment of excess facility and other closure costs. The Company expects to record additional restructuring charges of approximately $900,000, including $750,000 for the relocation of machinery and equipment and $150,000 of other costs, in 2018 when certain specified criteria are met.
