Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 30, 2008, the Board of Directors of Polymer Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a plan to consolidate its operations in the United States (the “U.S.”). The plan calls for the closure of the Company’s Landisville, New Jersey plant, by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to better align the Company’s capabilities with its long-term strategic direction. The restructuring reflects the Company’s commitment to assess its capabilities in light of market needs. The plant currently manufactures carded thermal bond and chemical bond products for the hygiene and medical markets. Certain product lines are expected to be transitioned to other facilities within the U.S. operations while others will be discontinued. The Company will provide approximately 85 affected workers with severance and displacement assistance.

The total restructuring charge in fiscal 2008 is expected to be within the range of $1.9-$3.8 million. Of such total expected cash charge in fiscal 2008, approximately $1.0 million is related to employee termination expenses, which excludes severance amounts previously accrued during fiscal 2007 of $0.5 million associated with the Company’s broader plans to restructure certain of its U.S. Nonwovens business, and $0.9-$2.8 million is related to equipment removal and other associated shut-down costs. In addition, the Company currently anticipates future proceeds from the sale of certain assets in the range of $1.0-$3.0 million. The above estimates are subject to a number of assumptions (including assumptions regarding the number of employees accepting severance packages and specific timing of the ultimate closure of the plant) and actual results may differ.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the U.S. consolidation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
