6.  Restructuring

In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan and Bristol, Indiana facilities with expanded operations in a new facility in Bristol, Indiana (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement where a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana will be constructed, and when substantially complete, the Company will lease that new facility and sell its existing facility in Bristol, Indiana. In December 2019, the Company also provided one year advance termination notice on the lease of its Cassopolis, Michigan facility. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed in the first quarter of 2021 and total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $1.1 million, primarily related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs.

In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing transformation initiatives within the Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company realigned its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which included the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, and put into place plans to expand its e-commerce platform. All actions under the Distribution Transformation Plan were substantially completed by the end of 2019.

 

No restructuring charges were incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and no significant amounts were recognized  during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Charges for the above restructuring plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
