Key cost-saving initiatives during 2015 include the closure of an Edmonton-based production facility and the consolidation of eight North American distribution centers by the Company’s DynaEnergetics business, and the consolidation of European explosion welding operations by the Company’s NobelClad business. Management also indicated the Company’s employee headcount is down approximately 20%, including temporary employees, from the beginning of 2015.
