2007 Restructuring Program

    In the third quarter of 2007, as a result of a change in management and deteriorating financial performance, the Company conducted an in-depth review of all its operations and developed a new strategic focus. The Company initiated a plan to realign its business operations to improve profitability and increase shareholder value by exiting certain businesses and consolidating some product lines. The restructuring resulted in a total workforce reduction of approximately 250, which has been completed.

      A reconciliation of the restructuring liability for this program, as of December 31, 2011, is as follows:

     In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded additional restructuring costs associated with our 2007 restructuring of our PCC facility in Germany.      

     Approximately $1.2 million and $0.4 million in severance payments were paid in 2011 and 2010, respectively.  A restructuring liability of $0.8 million remains at December 31, 2011.  Such amounts will be funded from operating cash flows.

2009 Restructuring Program

      In the second quarter of 2009, the Company initiated a program to improve efficiencies through the consolidation of manufacturing operations and reduction of costs.

     The restructuring program reduced the current workforce by approximately 200 employees worldwide.  This reduction in force relates to plant consolidations as well as a streamlining of the corporate and divisional management structures to operate more efficiently. This program has been completed.

     A reconciliation of the restructuring liability for this program, as of December 31, 2011, is as follows:
