Restructuring and Transaction Activities

4. Restructuring and Transaction Activities

During fiscal 2023, the Company announced several plant rationalizations in all four segments in order to deliver cost savings and optimize equipment utilization. Over the duration of the plan, these plant rationalizations and other cost reduction actions are projected to cost approximately $250 million with the operations savings intended to counter general economic softness. The plant rationalizations are expected to be fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2025.
