Impairment of assets held for sale [Abstract] |
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block] | IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE During 2015, our Board of Directors authorized us to close our Vrable, Slovakia manufacturing facility. The closure was to enable for greater efficiency of our Ensenada, Mexico facility. After receiving the Board of Director's authorization, we reclassified the land and building related to the Slovakia facility as held-for-sale, and recorded the value of those assets at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less costs to sell, which was based on a third party fair market valuation. As the estimated fair value less cost to sell was lower than the carrying value of the assets held-for-sale, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.1 million in 2015. During 2016, we completed the closure of our Slovakia manufacturing facility and sold the land and building held-for- sale for $3.3 million, net of costs to sell, resulting in an additional $0.7 million impairment charge on those assets. The impairment charges are separately stated in our consolidated statements of operations above income from operations.
