Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure | . Facility Closures Goshen, Indiana facility In November 2012, the Company announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Goshen, Indiana, moving production currently in Goshen to lower-cost manufacturing facilities during 2013. In connection with this action, the Company recorded a charge, primarily related to severance benefits, expected to be paid during 2013, for approximately 74 salaried employees to be involuntarily terminated as part of the closure, within its Cequent Americas reportable segment of approximately $1.2 million, of which $0.8 million is included in cost of sales and $0.4 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The Company has not recorded an estimate of severance benefits for its approximately 375 union hourly workers to be involuntarily terminated, pending the outcome of negotiations under the collective bargaining agreement. In addition, the Company expects to record approximately $1.6 million of accelerated depreciation expense as a result of shortening the expected useful lives on certain machinery, equipment and leasehold improvement assets that the Company no longer will utilize following the facility closure. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million of such accelerated depreciation expense in 2012. The Company's manufacturing facility in Goshen is subject to a lease agreement expiring in 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential recoverability of its future lease obligations for this facility, and will record an estimate of any future unrecoverable lease obligations upon the cease-use date of the facility. Tekonsha, Michigan facility In November 2011, the Company announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Tekonsha, Michigan by the end of the third quarter of 2012, moving production currently in Tekonsha to lower-cost manufacturing facilities or to third-party sourcing partners. The production move was completed in 2012; however, the Company continues to use the facility as a distribution warehouse. In connection with this action, the Company recorded a charge in 2011, primarily related to cash costs for severance benefits for approximately 40 employees to be involuntarily terminated as part of the closure, within its Cequent Americas reportable segment of approximately $0.5 million, of which $0.4 million is included in cost of sales and $0.1 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The Company also incurred approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, of pre-tax non-cash charges related to accelerated depreciation expense as a result of shortening the expected useful lives on certain machinery and equipment assets that the Company no longer utilizes following the closure.
