5. Restructuring

Restructuring expenses in 2013 were principally related to a strategic realignment within Engineered Composites operations. The 2012 restructuring expense was principally due to curtailment of manufacturing in New York and Wisconsin which was related to the lower demand for paper machine clothing. Those costs were partially offset by a reduction in accruals related to the Company's headquarters.

 

The following table summarizes charges reported in the Statements of Income under "Restructuring and other":
