3. RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION 

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company began evaluating improvement strategies intended to reorganize, simplify and reduce costs from operations through closer business integration, pursuant to a restructuring and integration plan to be carried out in stages with an original completion date by mid-2016. 

 

There was no restructuring and integration expense in the year ended December 31, 2018. 

 

In the T&D Segment, the relocation of our Medium Voltage Transformer line began as of the end of 2016, and was completed in the first half of 2017. Included in cost of goods sold of T&D Segment for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a restructuring charge of $873 related to write off of raw material inventory not relocated from Canada to Mexico.
