Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | 5. Restructuring During the first quarter of 2016 the Company announced the initiation of discussions with the employee Works Council regarding a proposal to discontinue R&D activities at its Machine Clothing production facility in Sélestat, France. The proposed measures would result in the elimination of 25 positions and the departure of 22 employees. The consultations are subject to applicable law, and until they are concluded the Company is unable to determine the restructuring costs associated with this proposal. Machine Clothing restructuring costs in 2016 and 2015 were principally related to ongoing plant closure costs in Göppingen, Germany. The following table summarizes charges reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income under “Restructuring expenses, net”:
