On September 23, 2019, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to improve the Company’s manufacturing productivity and rationalize its footprint. Under this plan, the Company is relocating and consolidating certain existing automotive manufacturing and, as a result, reducing the number of plants by two. On March 20, 2020, the Company announced the initial phase of this restructuring plan, which includes the consolidation of all North American electronics manufacturing to Celaya, Mexico. This will result in the closure of the Burlington, Canada facility, and the transfer of electronics manufacturing from Acuña, Mexico. On December 10, 2020, the Company announced the consolidation of its electronics manufacturing in Asia to Bantian, Shenzhen, China, which will result in the closure of our Longgang, Shenzhen, China facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $206 for employee separation costs, $95 for accelerated depreciation and $164 for other costs, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $248 for employee separation costs and $242 of accelerated depreciation. The Company has recorded approximately $7,602 of restructuring expenses since the inception of this program.

The Company expects to incur total costs of between $16,000 and $19,000, of which between $13,000 and $16,000 are expected to be cash expenditures. The total expected costs include employee separation costs of between $6,500 and $7,500, capital expenditures of between $3,500 and $4,500 and non-cash expenses for accelerated depreciation and impairment of fixed assets of approximately $3,000. The Company also expects to incur other transition costs including recruiting, relocation, and machinery and equipment move and set up costs of between $3,000 and $4,000. The actions under this plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2021. The actual timing, costs and savings of the plan may differ materially from the Company’s current expectations and estimates.

As part of the Company’s continued efforts to optimize its cost structure, the Company has undertaken several discrete restructuring actions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $326 of employee separation costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $3,054 of employee separation costs and $222 of other related costs. These restructuring expenses were primarily associated with restructuring actions focused on the rotation of our manufacturing footprint to lower cost locations and the reduction of global overhead costs
