Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
Use of derivative instruments is consistent with the overall business and risk management objectives of the Company.  Derivative instruments may be used to manage business risk within limits specified by the Company’s risk policy and to manage exposures that have been identified through the risk identification and measurement process, provided that they clearly qualify as “hedging” activities as defined in the risk policy.  Use of derivative instruments is not automatic, nor is it necessarily the only response to managing pertinent business risk.  Use is permitted only after the risks that have been identified are determined to exceed defined tolerance levels and are considered to be unavoidable. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The primary risks managed by the Company by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk.  Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate or fair value risk.  Swap contracts on various commodities are used to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing processes.  The Company also enters into various foreign currency derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with the Company’s projected foreign currency denominated purchases, sales, and receivable and payable balances.
ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position.  In accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the Company designates commodity swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts, and float-to-fixed interest rate derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities and purchases and sales currencies, and of variable rate interest payments.  Also in accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the Company designates fixed-to-float interest rate swaps as fair market value hedges of fixed rate debt, which synthetically swap the Company’s fixed rate debt to floating rate debt.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.  In the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $0.2 million of unrealized losses net of tax related to commodity price and currency exchange rate hedging will be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.  Foreign currency and commodity hedging is generally completed prospectively on a rolling basis for between twelve and twenty-four months, respectively, depending on the type of risk being hedged.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding commodity and foreign currency exchange contracts that were intended to hedge forecasted transactions:
