Facility Closures and Consolidations
During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company closed and consolidated several facilities. The following includes details of the most significant actions.
2017 Facility Closures and Consolidations
During 2017, the Company announced plans within the Energy reportable segment to cease production at its Reynosa, Mexico facility, and consolidate production into its Houston, Texas facility. In 2017, upon the cease use date of the facility, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $2.3 million within cost of sales for estimated future unrecoverable lease obligations, net of estimated sublease recoveries, for the lease that expires in 2025. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million of pre-tax non-cash charges within cost of sales related to accelerated depreciation expense as a result of shortening the expected lives on certain machinery, equipment and leasehold improvement assets that the Company no longer used following the facility closure.
Additionally, the Company exited its Wolverhampton, United Kingdom facility within the Energy reportable segment. In connection with this action, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of approximately $3.5 million within net loss on disposition of assets, of which approximately $3.2 million were non-cash charges related to the disposal of certain assets.
2016 Facility Closures and Consolidations
During 2016, the Company closed and consolidated certain facilities and initiated actions toward consolidating additional facilities within each of its reportable segments. The most significant activity related to the move of production activities in Mexico within the Packaging reportable segment from Mexico City to San Miguel de Allende, for which the Company recorded pre-tax charges of approximately $2.5 million, of which approximately $0.7 million related to severance benefits for employees involuntarily terminated, approximately $0.8 million related to accelerated depreciation of machinery and equipment and the write-down of certain inventory to its estimated salvage value, with the remainder of the charges related to costs to move and start-up operations in the new facility. During 2017, the Company sold the Mexico City facility for cash proceeds of approximately $2.8 million and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $2.5 million which is included in net loss on dispositions of assets in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
2015 Facility Closures and Consolidations
During 2015, the Company closed and consolidated certain manufacturing facilities, branches, warehouses and sales offices, the largest of which were the closure of the Hangzhou, China, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Houston, Texas (former South Texas Bolt and Fitting) manufacturing facilities within the Energy reportable segment.  As a part of the closure and consolidation actions, the Company recorded non-cash charges of approximately $1.4 million in 2015, primarily related to write-down of property to its estimated salvage value. As a part of these facility closures and other cost savings actions within the Energy reportable segment, the Company recorded charges of approximately $3.0 million in 2015 related to severance benefits for its approximately 240 employees that were involuntarily terminated.  During 2016, upon the cease-use date of certain of the closed and consolidated facilities, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge within the Energy reportable segment of approximately $0.4 million for estimated future unrecoverable lease obligations, net of estimated sublease recoveries, for a lease that expires in 2018.
