Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segments | BUSINESS SEGMENTS Tredegar has historically reported two business segments: Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. In 2015, the Company divided Film Products into two separate reportable segments: PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films. PE Films is comprised of the following operating segments: personal care materials, surface protection films, and engineered polymer solutions; and Flexible Packaging Films is comprised of the Company’s polyester films business, Terphane, which was acquired by Film Products in October 2011. As part of its transition to a new executive leadership team, the Company’s management has decided to discontinue its efforts to integrate Terphane with its other film products operations. In separating PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films, the Company’s management believes that it will be able to more effectively manage the distinct opportunities and challenges that each of these businesses face. Therefore, the Company's business segments are now PE Films, Flexible Packaging Films and Aluminum Extrusions. All historical results for PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films have been separately presented to conform with the new presentation of segments. Information by business segment and geographic area for the last three years is provided below. There were no accounting transactions between segments and no allocations to segments. Net sales (sales less freight) and operating profit from ongoing operations are the measures of sales and operating profit used by the chief operating decision maker (Tredegar’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for purposes of assessing performance. PE Films’ net sales to The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) totaled $163.9 million in 2015, $220.8 million in 2014 and $261.9 million in 2013. These amounts include plastic film sold to others that convert the film into materials used with products manufactured by P&G.
