During the third quarter of 2011, the Company conducted a review of its business strategies and product plans based on the business and industry outlook, and concluded that its manufacturing footprint and fixed cost base were excessive for its medium-term needs.  A plan was developed to reduce the Company’s facility footprint by approximately 40% through the sale and/or closure of facilities comprising a total of approximately 600,000 square feet. To-date, the Company has reduced its leased presence at six facilities and achieved a reduction of approximately 400,000 square feet. Two remaining properties, located in Clintonville, Wisconsin and Cicero, Illinois, have been vacated and are being marketed for sale. The Company believes its remaining locations will be sufficient to support its current business activities, while allowing for growth for the next several years. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company identified a $352 liability associated with the planned sale of the Cicero Avenue Facility. The Company further adjusted the liability in the fourth quarter of 2013 by recording an additional $258 charge. The liability is associated with environmental remediation costs that were originally identified while preparing the site for sale. The expenses associated with this liability have been recorded as restructuring charges, and as of March 31, 2015, the accrual balance remaining is $513.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had completed the expenditures relating to its restructuring plan. The Company incurred total costs of approximately $13,700,  net of a $3,585 gain on the sale of an idle tower plant in Brandon, South Dakota. The Company’s restructuring charges generally include costs to close or exit facilities, costs to move equipment, the related costs of building infrastructure for moved equipment and employee related costs. Of the total restructuring costs incurred, a total of approximately $4,800 consists of non‑cash charges. 

 

During 2014, the Company incurred $2,153 of restructuring charges, including $674 to complete the capital investment to consolidate its gearing facilities in Cicero, Illinois and $1,479 of moving and other exit-related costs associated with the two remaining facilities that are held for sale.
