18. Restructuring

        On April 27, 2009, the Company announced a plan to close its Johnson City, TN manufacturing facility and move production from this facility to its Milwaukee, WI and Rockland, ME facilities. The Company completed the closure of this facility as of August 31, 2010. The Company expects to realize significant annual cost savings and improved customer delivery performance as a result. The closure has resulted in the elimination of approximately 100 positions in Johnson City and the addition of approximately 50 positions in Rockland and approximately 35 positions in Milwaukee.

        Related to the facility closure, the Company recorded $50 of employee termination costs and $1,385 for other closure costs for the year ended December 31, 2010 which are included in the selling, general and administrative expense line in the Company's consolidated statements of income. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not incur any restructuring charges, nor does the Company expect to incur any additional costs related to the closure in the future.

        The following represents a reconciliation of changes in the restructuring reserves related to this project through December 31, 2011. The Company did not incur any additional restructuring costs in the year ended December 31, 2012.

        In connection with the restructuring, the Company reassessed the useful lives of its manufacturing facility and certain equipment. As a result of this assessment, the Company assigned shorter useful lives to these assets and recorded accelerated depreciation of $2,071 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This change in estimate reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.07 and $0.07 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

        Because of actions taken in the restructuring, the Johnson City property is being actively marketed for sale and is classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.
