The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 31.5% compared with 22.3% in the first quarter of 2019 and 23.4% for the full year 2019. The increase in the first quarter of 2020 effective tax rate from the full year 2019 rate is primarily due to the recognition of tax expense related to the completed sale of the Seeger business during the first quarter of 2020 ($4,211), partially offset by a benefit related to a refund of withholding taxes that were previously paid and included in tax expense in prior years and a reduction of the statutory tax rate at one of our international operations.

The Aerospace and Industrial Segments have a number of multi-year tax holidays in Singapore and China. These holidays are subject to the Company meeting certain commitments in the respective jurisdictions. Aerospace was granted an income tax holiday for operations recently established in Malaysia. The Company anticipates the holiday beginning during the second half of 2020. The holiday will remain effective for ten years.
