Restructuring Charges
 
In
2014
we purchased substantially all of the assets associated with the PC strand business of American Spring Wire Corporation (“ASW Acquisition”). Subsequent to the ASW Acquisition, in
2014,
we incurred employee separation costs for staffing reductions associated with the acquisition. In
February 2015,
we elected to consolidate our PC strand operations with the closure of the Newnan, Georgia facility that had been acquired through the ASW Acquisition, which was completed in
March 2015.
 
Following is a summary of the restructuring activities and associated costs that were incurred during
2017:
