Our new business segment leaders are performing well as they restructure and strengthen their respective operations. Machine Clothing continues to deliver consistent strong results, and the integration of Heimbach is proceeding to plan. We expect to see the benefits of the Heimbach integration efforts accelerate into the second half of this year as our actions take effect. AEC is executing well on its current portfolio of programs, and the segment continues to win new business.
