In 2017, the Company constructed a 160,000 square foot manufacturing facility in the United States that integrated 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 $1,920,000, including $148,000 associated with severance costs for the reduction of four employees in the United States and six employees in Sweden, $1,318,000 primarily for relocation costs of machinery, equipment and administrative offices, and $454,000 associated with employee retention costs, abandonment of excess facility and other closure costs. The Company does not expect to incur additional charges related to this restructuring plan.

As a result of this plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges in its Papermaking Systems segment of $1,339,000 in the first six months of 2018, including $1,018,000 for the relocation of machinery, equipment and administrative offices, $376,000 associated with employee retention and facility closure costs, and a reversal of $55,000 of severance costs no longer required.
