Restructuring Activities
Note 6: Restructuring Activities

The Company’s restructuring actions during the first six months of fiscal 2020 consisted primarily of targeted headcount reductions in Europe and the Americas within the VTS segment and plant consolidation activities.  The headcount reductions support the Company’s objective to reduce operational and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) cost structures.  In addition, the Company is in the process of transferring product lines associated with the merger of its North American coils business into the CIS segment in order to accelerate operational improvements and organizational efficiencies.
