Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]

Note 5 — Restructuring

Manufacturing Footprint Rationalization

In September 2019, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (“Plan”) to improve the Company’s manufacturing productivity and rationalize its footprint. Under this Plan, the Company is relocating and consolidating certain automotive electronics manufacturing plants in North America and China.

During 2021, the Company completed the closures and relocation of its automotive electronics manufacturing operations from Burlington, Canada to Celaya, Mexico and from Longgang, Shenzhen, China to Bantian, Shenzhen, China. As of December 31, 2021, the electronics manufacturing in Acuña, Mexico continues to transition to Celaya, Mexico.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $1,303 for employee separation costs and $1,665 for other costs, primarily related to equipment move and set up costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $(832) for employee separation costs and $1,019 for other costs, primarily related to accelerated depreciation and equipment move and set up costs. The net activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily related to a reduction in the estimates of previously recognized employee separation costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $4,863 for employee separation costs, and $2,087 of other costs, primarily related to accelerated depreciation and fixed asset impairment.

The Company has recorded approximately $10,105 of restructuring expenses since the inception of this program and as of December 31, 2021, $943 remains accrued. Actions under the Plan are expected to be substantially completed by the first half of 2022 and future expenses are expected to be less than $1,000.

Other Restructuring Activities

As part of the Company’s continued efforts to optimize its cost structure, the Company has undertaken several discrete restructuring actions. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $889, $5,382 and $3,193 of employee separation costs, respectively, and $0, $234 and $2,776 of other related costs, respectively. These restructuring expenses were primarily associated with restructuring actions focused on the rotation of our manufacturing footprint to best cost locations and the reduction of global overhead costs.
