Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Exit Activity from Italy and Germany Facilities [Text Block] | Exit Activity from Italy and Germany Facilities In 2011, our new plant in Slovakia became our European product distribution facility. Product assembly previously done in our Italy and Germany facilities transferred to our Slovakia plant. As a result of this, we had termination costs to certain manufacturing and operations employees from our Italy facility. The product assembly transition from our Italy plant to the Slovakia plant was completed in March 2011. Our Italy facility continues to support sales in Europe. The product assembly transition from our Germany plant to the Slovakia plant was completed in the third quarter of 2011. Our Germany facility continues to support a small amount of manufacturing that is not intended to be transferred to the Slovakia plant at this time. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded $0.8 million in one-time termination costs, $0.7 million in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million in sales, general and administrative expense.
