Restructuring Costs

Plant Rationalization Program

In February 2016, in connection with our ongoing efforts to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs, we finalized our intention to implement a plant rationalization initiative. As part of the plant rationalization, we plan to relocate certain production activities from our Grapevine, Texas manufacturing facility to facilities in Greenville, South Carolina and Reynosa, Mexico, relocate certain service functions from Grapevine, Texas to our administrative offices in Lewisville, Texas, and close our Grapevine, Texas facility. In addition, certain production activities will be relocated from our Greenville, South Carolina manufacturing facility to our manufacturing facility in Bialystok, Poland. Restructuring and integration expenses expected to be incurred related to the program of approximately $5 million, consisting of employee severance and relocation of certain machinery and equipment, will be recognized throughout the program. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $3.2 million of restructuring and integration expenses related to the program. We anticipate that the plant rationalization will be completed by the end of 2017.

Integration Costs

Wire and Cable Relocation

In connection with our acquisition of the North American automotive ignition wire business of General Cable Corporation in May 2016, we expect to incur certain integration expenses, including costs to be incurred in connection with the consolidation of the General Cable Corporation Altoona, Pennsylvania distribution center into our existing wire distribution center in Edwardsville, Kansas and the relocation of certain machinery and equipment. In October 2016, we further announced our plan to relocate all production from the acquired Nogales, Mexico wire set assembly operation to our existing wire assembly facility in Reynosa, Mexico and to close the Nogales, Mexico plant. Integration expenses expected to be incurred related to the closure of the Nogales, Mexico plant include employee severance and the relocation of certain machinery and equipment. Total integration expenses of $2.9 million are expected to be incurred related to the program. During the year ended December 31, 2016, integration expenses related to the program of $0.7 million were recognized. We anticipate that the wire and cable relocation program will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2018.
