Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Other Charges RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
Restructuring and other charges primarily consist of separation costs for employees including severance, outplacement and other benefit ("Severance") costs as well as costs related to plant closures, principally related to fixed assets write-downs ("Fixed asset write-down") and all other related restructuring ("Other") costs. All restructuring and other charges, net expenses are separately stated on the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Frutarom Integration Initiative
In connection with the acquisition of Frutarom, the Company began to execute an integration plan that, among other initiatives, seeks to optimize its manufacturing network. As part of the Frutarom Integration Initiative, the Company expects to close approximately 35 manufacturing sites over the next two years with most of the closures targeted to occur before the end of fiscal 2020. During 2019, the Company announced the closure of ten facilities, of which six facilities are in Europe, Africa and Middle East, two facilities in Latin America, and one facility each in North America and Greater Asia regions. Since the inception of the initiative, the Company has expensed $10.4 million. Total costs for the program are expected to be approximately $65 million including cash and non-cash charges.
2019 Severance Program
During 2019, the Company incurred severance charges related to approximately 330 headcount reductions. The headcount reductions primarily related to the Scent business unit and outsourcing of certain IT functions, with additional amounts related to headcount reductions in all business units associated with the establishment of a new shared service center in Europe. Since the inception of the program, the Company has expensed $21.3 million. Total costs for the program are expected to be approximately $25 million.
2017 Productivity Program
In connection with 2017 Productivity Program, the Company recorded $24.5 million of charges related to personnel costs and lease termination costs since the program's inception. Total costs for the program are expected to be approximately $25 million.
