Closures will be paced over 6 quarters to avoid any business disruptions. — Sufficient bridge capacity in place. — Minimal impact on “specialty” products translates into low risk to sales. — Allows for efficient use of cash resources. — Implementation plans have been designed and are undergoing the normal due diligence and preparatory planning. Increases Pliant’s competitiveness while reducing fixed costs. — Places assets in more strategic locations to improve service levels. — Eliminates redundant fixed factory overheads.
