Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Global Headquarters Relocation

In the second quarter of 2017, we completed the physical relocation of our global headquarters from Rogers, Connecticut to Chandler, Arizona. We recorded an immaterial amount of expense in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.6 million of expense in the three months ended September 30, 2017, related to this project. Additionally, we recorded $0.5 million and $2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to this project. Severance activity related to the headquarters relocation is presented in the table below for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Facility Consolidation

On April 24, 2018, we made the decision to relocate our Santa Fe Springs, California operations to the Company’s facilities in Carol Stream, Illinois and Bear, Delaware. We expect to incur restructuring expenses of approximately $2.0 million in connection with the closure and transfer of production capabilities to the Carol Stream, Illinois and Bear, Delaware facilities. These costs include approximately $0.8 million in severance and retention expenses and $1.2 million of costs related to the relocation of equipment. The Company estimates that approximately $1.5 million and $0.5 million of the costs will be incurred in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. Completion of the transfer, and start-up of production at the Carol Stream, Illinois and Bear, Delaware facilities, is expected to require capital expenditures of approximately $1.2 million to $1.4 million. We recorded $0.5 million and $1.0 million of expense related to this project in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Severance activity related to the facility consolidation is presented in the table below for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:
