Restructuring [Abstract] |
Restructuring | 5. Restructuring During the first quarter of 2015, the Company announced a plan to discontinue manufacturing operations at its press fabric manufacturing facility in Göppingen, Germany. The restructuring program was driven by the Company's need to balance manufacturing capacity with demand. In April 2015, we completed negotiations and reached agreement on the restructuring plan with the Works Council. Approximately 50 employees will be terminated under this plan, and the restructuring expense recorded in the first quarter of 2015 reflects our estimate of the severance costs. Manufacturing operations will be discontinued in the second quarter of 2015. It is likely that we will record additional charges for asset impairments, but the amounts are presently not estimable. Whereas the affected employees are related to manufacturing operations, cost savings associated with this action will flow through Cost of goods sold. Machine Clothing restructuring costs in 2014 were principally related to restructuring actions in France. Albany Engineered Composites restructuring expense in 2014 was related to organizational changes. The following table summarizes charges reported in the Statements of Income under “Restructuring and other, net”:
