Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is organized into three reporting segments. The segments are defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North America segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada, the Europe segment and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Company’s operations in Asia, the South Pacific and South Africa. These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications. The Administrative & All Other column primarily includes expenses such as self-insured workers compensation claims for employees of the Company’s venting business, which was sold in 2010, stock-based compensation for certain members of management, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and income tax expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to real estate activities, such as rental income and depreciation expense on the Company’s property in Vacaville, California, which the Company has leased to a third party for a 10-year term expiring in August 2020. The following table shows certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of the segments described above as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

* Sales to other segments are eliminated on consolidation. Cash collected by the Company’s United States subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts, and therefore has been included in the total assets of “Administrative & All Other.” Cash and short-term investment balances in “Administrative & All Other” were $164.1 million, $167.4 million and $156.0 million as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $93.2 million, or 36.0%, of its cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in accounts belonging to the Company’s various foreign operating entities. The majority of this balance is held in foreign currencies and could be subject to additional taxation if it were repatriated to the United States. The Company has no plans to repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States as the Company expects to use such funds for future international growth and acquisitions. The significant non-cash charges comprise compensation related to the awards under the stock-based incentive plans and the stock bonus plan. The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The reconciling amounts between consolidated income before tax and consolidated income from operations are net interest income, which is primarily attributed to “Administrative & All Other.” The following table shows the geographic distribution of the Company’s net sales and long-lived assets as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Net sales and long-lived assets, net of intangible assets, are attributable to the country where the sales or manufacturing operations are located. The following table show the distribution of the Company’s net sales by product for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively:
(in thousands) | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013

Total | $ | 794,059 |  |  | $ | 752,148 |  |  | $ | 705,322 |
Wood construction products include connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and pre-fabricated shearwalls and are used for connecting and strengthening wood-based construction primarily in the residential construction market. Concrete construction products include adhesives, specialty chemicals, mechanical anchors, carbide drill bits, powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials and are used for restoration, protection or strengthening concrete, masonry and steel construction in residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction. No customer accounted for as much as 10% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
