Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	Note 11 – Commitments and contingencies: Legal proceedings. We are involved, from time to time, in various environmental, contractual, product liability, patent (or intellectual property), employment and other claims and disputes incidental to our business. At least quarterly our management discusses and evaluates the status of any pending litigation to which we are a party. The factors considered in such evaluation include, among other things, the nature of such pending cases, the status of such pending cases, the advice of legal counsel and our experience in similar cases (if any). Based on such evaluations, we make a determination as to whether we believe (i) it is probable a loss has been incurred, and if so if the amount of such loss (or range of loss) is reasonably estimable, or (ii) it is reasonably possible but not probable a loss has been incurred, and if so if the amount of such loss (or range of loss) is reasonably estimable, or (iii) the probability a loss has been incurred is remote. We have not accrued any amounts for litigation matters because it is not reasonably possible we have incurred a loss that would be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Environmental matters and litigation. Our operations are governed by various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Our policy is to comply with environmental laws and regulations at all of our facilities and to continually strive to improve environmental performance in association with applicable industry initiatives. From time to time, we may be subject to environmental regulatory enforcement under various statutes, resolution of which typically involves the establishment of compliance programs. We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable requirements of environmental laws. Income taxes. From time to time, we undergo examinations of our income tax returns, and tax authorities have or may propose tax deficiencies. We believe we have adequately provided accruals for additional income taxes and related interest expense which may ultimately result from such examinations and we believe that the ultimate disposition of all such examinations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Concentration of credit risk. Our products are sold primarily in North America to original equipment manufacturers. Our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 52% of consolidated sales in 2022 and 2023 and 47% in 2024. One customer of the Security Products segment accounted for 14% of consolidated sales in 2022, 24% in 2023 (of which 11% related to a non-recurring pilot project) and 21% in 2024. One customer of the Marine Components segment accounted for 12% of consolidated sales in 2022.
