Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is organized into three reportable segments, which 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, comprising continental Europe and the United Kingdom; and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Company’s operations in China, Hong Kong, the South Pacific, South Africa and the Middle East. China and Hong Kong operations are manufacturing and administrative support locations, respectively. These three reportable segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used in production, production processes, distribution channels and product applications. The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The following tables illustrate certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of its reportable segments as of or for the following periods:

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 and all other.” Cash and cash equivalent balances in the “Administrative and all other” segment were $53.4 million, $92.1 million, and $80.2 million, as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and December 31, 2017, respectively. Total "Administrative and all other" assets are net of inter-segment due to and from accounts eliminated in consolidation.
