Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
 
The Company is organized into three reporting segments defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The financial information of these segments is available and utilized by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, to assess the segments’ performance. The primary measurements used to measure the financial performance of the segments are revenue, gross margins, and operating margins to decide whether to reinvest the profits, make acquisitions, pay down debt or borrow, or to return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.

The three regional segments are the North America segment (comprised primarily of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada), the Europe segment and the Asia/Pacific segment (comprised of the Company’s operations in Asia, the South Pacific, and the Middle East). These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used, 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, 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.
 
The following table presents financial information of each segment that is used by the CODM to assess the performance of segments for periods ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Cash collected by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts, and therefore is in the total assets of "Administrative & All Other." Cash and cash equivalent balances in "Administrative & All Other" were $126.1 million, $368.6 million and $222.5 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $111.6 million, or 46.6%, of its cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. 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 repatriated to the U.S.
 
The significant non-cash charges comprise compensation related to equity awards under the Company’s stock-based incentive plans, the Company’s employee stock bonus plan, and the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation 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 (expense), net and other, foreign exchange gain (loss), certain legal and professional fees associated with the acquisition of ETANCO, refer to Note 3 "Acquisitions," and gain on disposal of a assets. Interest income (expense) is primarily attributed to “Administrative & All Other.”
