Receivables [Abstract] |
Accounts Receivable | 11. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable includes trade receivables and revenue in excess of progress billings on long-term contracts in the Albany Engineered Composites segment. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer-specific facts and economic conditions. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Accounts receivable consisted of the following:
(in thousands) | September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016
