In 2006, Kraft took a $245 million non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charge related to lower utilization of existing manufacturing capacity. In addition, Kraft anticipates cash expenditures of approximately $3 million for the decommissioning of idle production lines. In 2008, P&G/Braun announced they were getting out of the home appliance product line[S\u014Drs r\u012Bkwest], including Tassimo. The new machines are being manufactured by Bosch. At the same time, in August 2008, Kraft announced double-digit growth for the second quarter in a row for its Tassimo coffee T-Disc sales."@en . "February 2010"@en . "Tassimo"@en . .
