President and CEO Peter W. Knapper stated, “In the third quarter, we’ve continued to execute on our plans to turn around our business. The new sales organization structure implemented earlier this year continues to find new opportunities for our business and we will continue to focus on serving our customers, associates, and shareholders. We previously announced the decision to close and consolidate our Alliance, Ohio location to our Cleveland, Ohio location in order to improve utilization and reduce fixed costs while maintaining available capacity to be able to handle significant growth. As a result of this decision, we incurred a $4.4 million non-cash asset impairment charge. In addition we’ve made the decision to sell the property we own in Ireland, identifying this asset as held for sale. We expect to close this transaction in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and will use the proceeds to repay debt in accordance with our amended credit agreement.”
