(11)Plant Consolidation

On January 7, 2014, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Glendale Heights, Illinois plant and consolidate operations into its Grand Rapids, Michigan, facility. The Company’s decision was in response to a pending significant increase in lease cost, declining sales at the Illinois facility, and significant anticipated savings as a result of the consolidation.

The Company expects to incur approximately $1,150,000 in one-time expenses in connection with the consolidation, and to invest approximately $300,000 in building improvements in Grand Rapids. Included in the $1,150,000 amount above are approximately $350,000 of expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments, approximately $550,000 in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Glendale Heights building, and approximately $250,000 in expenses in moving equipment within the Grand Rapids location. Total cash charges are estimated at $1,450,000. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $750,000 as a result of the plant consolidation.

The Company has recorded the following restructuring costs associated with the plant consolidation for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):
