Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

Business Segment Information

The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of Technical Products and Fine Paper and Packaging.

The Technical Products segment is an aggregation of the Company’s fiber-formed, coated and/or saturated specialized media that deliver high performance benefits to its international customers, which are similar in terms of economic characteristics, nature of products, processes, customer class and product distribution methods.

The increase in the specialty coatings component beginning in the second quarter of 2021 was due to the Itasa acquisition (see Note 4, "Acquisition"). The following table presents sales by product category for the Technical Products businesses:

Industrial solutions	31	%	38	%
Specialty coatings	31	%	10	%
Total	100	%	100	%

The Fine Paper and Packaging segment is a leading supplier of premium printing and other high-end specialty papers and premium packaging, primarily in North America. The following table presents sales by product category for the Fine Paper and Packaging businesses:

Each segment employs different technologies and marketing strategies. Disclosure of segment information is on the same basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. Transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. The costs of shared services, and other administrative functions managed on a common basis, are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or other factors based on the nature of the activity. General corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments are shown as Unallocated corporate costs.
