Management Actions
During the first quarter of 2017, we implemented a restructuring action to better align our global resources and expense structure with a lower growth global economic environment. The pre-tax charge of $8,018, including other associated costs of $961, consisted primarily of severance and was included within Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The charge impacted our Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific ("APAC") operating segments. We estimated the savings would offset the pre-tax charge approximately one year from the date of the action. No additional costs will be incurred related to this restructuring action.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we implemented a restructuring action primarily driven by integration actions related to our acquisition of IP Cleaning S.p.A and its subsidiaries ("IPC Group"). See Note 7 for further details regarding our acquisition of the IPC Group. The restructuring action consisted primarily of severance and includes reductions in overall staffing to streamline and right-size the organization to support anticipated business requirements. The pre-tax charge of $2,501 was included within Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The charge impacted our Americas, EMEA and APAC operating segments. We estimated the savings would offset the pre-tax charge approximately one year from the date of the action.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we implemented a restructuring action consisting of severance to further our integration efforts related to the IPC Group. The pre-tax charge of $1,032 was included within Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The charge impacted our EMEA and APAC operating segments. We estimate the savings will offset the pre-tax charge approximately one year from the date of the action.
