Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

Discontinued Operations

(6) Discontinued Operations

     In April 2006, the Company decided to exit the industrial wire business with the closure of its Fredericksburg, Virginia facility, which manufactured tire bead wire and other industrial wire for commercial and industrial applications. The Company’s decision was based on the weakening in the business outlook for the facility and the expected continuation of difficult market conditions and reduced operating levels. Manufacturing activities at the Virginia facility ceased in June 2006 and the Company liquidated the remaining assets of the business in fiscal 2010. The results of operations and related non-recurring closure costs associated with the industrial wire business have been reported as discontinued operations for the prior year period.
