9. Restructuring Accruals

Beginning in 2007, the Company commenced a strategic review of its global profitability and manufacturing footprint. The Company concluded its global review as of December 31, 2009, with the final actions implemented in the first half of 2010. Amounts recorded by the Company do not include any future gains that may be realized upon the ultimate sale or disposition of closed facilities.

The Company continually reviews its manufacturing footprint and may close various operations due to plant efficiencies, integration of acquisitions, and other market factors. These restructuring actions taken by the Company are not related to the strategic review of manufacturing operations discussed above. As part of this continuing review of its manufacturing footprint, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $8 million in the first quarter of 2011 for employee costs related to a plant closing and the related relocation of business to other facilities in its Asia Pacific segment. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2011 for employee costs related to the closure of a machine line in its Asia Pacific segment.

Selected information related to the restructuring accruals for the strategic footprint review and other restructuring actions for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

The Company also recorded liabilities for certain employee separation costs to be paid under contractual arrangements and other exit costs.
