Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Consolidation
Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.  Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control (generally a 20 to 50 percent ownership interest), are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and the Company’s share of their income or loss is included in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of income.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue, net of related discounts, rebates, returns and allowances of $29.8 million, $27.4 million and $28.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is recognized when persuasive evidence of arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed and determinable. These criteria are generally met upon shipment or delivery of the product based on the applicable shipping terms. Shipping terms may vary for products shipped outside the United States depending on the mode of transportation, the country where the material is shipped and any agreements made with the customers.
Freight and Handling Fees and Costs
Freight and Handling Fees and Costs
 
Freight and handling costs billed separately to customers are included as part of net sales, and freight and handling costs expensed are included as part of cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Research and Development
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenditures, which amounted to $16.3 million, $18.7 million and $18.5 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are expensed as incurred and are generally reported in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.  The research and development expenditures consist principally of salaries and benefits, building costs, utilities and administrative expenses.  Substantially all development costs are related to developing new products or designing significant improvements to existing products or processes.
Cash Equivalents
Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
 
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of outstanding amounts. Trade credit is extended based upon periodic evaluation of each customer’s ability to perform its obligations. The Company determines accounts receivable allowances based on an aging of accounts and a review of specific accounts identified as collection risks. The Company does not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost for inventories is principally determined by the LIFO method.  The Company also uses the FIFO and average cost methods.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
 
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Depreciation for income tax purposes is computed using accelerated methods.  Upon disposal, assets and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and the differences between the net amounts and proceeds from disposal are generally included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of income.
Computer Software and Amortization
Computer Software and Amortization
 
Computer software is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, and is amortized for financial reporting purposes on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Goodwill
Goodwill
 
Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses, is stated at cost. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is annually tested for impairment (in the fourth quarter), or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.  Such events or circumstances include a decline in general economic conditions, adverse changes in the industry and markets, poor financial performance effecting earnings and cash flows and a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.  The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and the use of market multiples valuation techniques. These valuation techniques require the use of estimates and assumptions related to projected operating results, capital expenditures and working capital levels as well as the cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets
 
The costs of intangible assets, consisting principally of trademarks, trade names, non-compete arrangements, contracts and customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 2.5 to 30 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows.  The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired assets over the fair value of the assets based upon discounted future cash flows.
Environmental Expenditures
Environmental Expenditures
 
Environmental expenditures that pertain to current operations or to future revenues are expensed or capitalized consistent with the Company’s capitalization policy for property, plant and equipment.  Expenditures that result from the remediation of an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenues are expensed.  Liabilities are recognized for remedial activities when the remediation is probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated.  Most estimated liabilities are not discounted to present value due to the uncertainty as to the timing and duration of expected costs.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and changes in fair value are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income.  The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.  In addition, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt to floating rate.

At least quarterly, the Company determines hedge effectiveness utilizing regression analysis for measuring the probable high correlation of the expected future cash flows of the hedged item and the derivative hedging instrument. The ineffective portion of hedges are immediately recorded in the consolidated statement of income. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective or it becomes probable that an expected transaction will no longer occur, future gains or losses on the derivative instrument are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities of most international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year-end, and their income statements are translated at the average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year.  The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded each period as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the international entity is sold or liquidated. Gains and losses from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are reported in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statement of income.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to temporary differences between the tax bases and financial statement carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.
 
Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are required in determining tax return reporting positions and in calculating provisions for income tax, which are based on interpretations of tax regulations and accounting pronouncements. Liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that such positions, if challenged, would not be sustained upon review by taxing authorities. These liabilities are re-evaluated as tax regulations and facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a specific exposure.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per Share
 
The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two class method.  Under the two class method, earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities (restricted stock units that receive non-forfeitable dividends) according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings.  The earnings available to each class of stock are divided by the weighted average number of shares for the period in each class.  Diluted earnings per share assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and trade receivables. Investment and cash management policies have been implemented that limit deposit concentrations and limit investments to investment grade securities. The risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by monitoring payment terms and periodic credit evaluations we perform on our customers, the short duration of our payment terms and by the diversification of our customer base.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in ASU 2014-09 requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this guidance by one year. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued additional revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11 and ASU 2016-12. All four of these standards provide implementation guidance and clarifications of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, ASU 2016-10 provides additional guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing, ASU 2016-11 rescinds SEC guidance based on the previous revenue recognition standards and ASU 2016-12 relates to narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients. All of these amendments are effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
        
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this new standard as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, $2.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs were recorded as a reduction of long term debt.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line of Credit Arrangements. This guidance indicates that the guidance in ASU 2015-03 did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, the SEC staff has indicated that they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. The Company adopted this new standard as of June 30, 2016.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as noncurrent simplifies entities’ processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. The guidance in ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the above guidance on June 30, 2016 and elected to prospectively apply its provisions.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 improves transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which outlines new provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for share-based payments and their presentation in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on the consolidated financial statements.
