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 income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue, net of related discounts, rebates, returns and allowances of $22.6 million, $26.5 million and $23.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied under the terms of a customer order or contract. This is generally determined when title, ownership and risk of loss has transferred to the customer upon shipment or delivery of a product or when the service has been performed. 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 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 $23.3 million, $19.3 million and $16.9 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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. 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 statements of income.
Computer Software and Amortization
Computer Software and Amortization
 
Computer software is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets 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, net of accumulated impairment losses, 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 as of June 30, 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 affecting 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 revenue growth rates, operating results, capital expenditures and working capital levels as well as the cost of capital. The cash flow forecasts include significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates. 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.
For purposes of performing Step 1 of goodwill impairment testing, the Company uses certain nonrecurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fair value of each reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment test is based on a weighting of an income approach and a market approach. Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis that uses estimates of cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks associated with those cash flows. Under the market approach, a market-based value is derived by relating multiples for earnings and cash flow measures for a group of comparable public companies to the same measure for each reporting unit to estimate fair value. The assumptions used by the Company to determine fair value of the reporting units are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets
 
The costs of intangible assets, consisting principally of trademarks, trade names, non-compete arrangements, technology, patents and customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including property, plant, 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 debt.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities of 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 income (loss) until the international entity is sold or liquidated. Gains and losses from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements 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 basis 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.
Reclassification
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statement for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2019 presentation.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 refers to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 refers to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of commodity forward contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and forward interest rate swaps. These instruments are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize information related to foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates published by third party leading financial news and data providers. This is observable data; however, the valuation of these instruments is not based on actual transactions for the same instruments and, as such, they are classified as Level 2. The Company’s use of derivatives and hedging policies are more fully discussed in Note 16.
 
The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in current period

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue, and, therefore, supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework resulted in less complex guidance in application while providing a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The standard provides a five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers, with an underlying principle that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 for all open contracts as of July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations or its cash flows for fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. There was no cumulative effect of adopting the standard at the date of initial application in reinvested earnings. The Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy has been updated for the new guidance and the Company has expanded disclosure of revenues from contracts with customers as included in Note 3. Revenue.
                
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which outlines updates to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-16 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The guidance changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans disaggregate the service cost components from other components of net periodic benefit costs in the income statement. This amendment requires that the service cost component be reported in net income as “cost of sales” or “selling, general and administrative expenses” in a manner consistent with the classification of direct labor and personnel costs of the eligible employees. Other components of net periodic benefit costs including interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of net loss, amortization of prior service cost (benefits) (“pension earnings, interest and deferrals”) are classified as non-operating expense in “other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of income. The update specifies that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, which is consistent with the Company’s current practice. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-07 effective July 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, $0.1 million and $2.0 million have been reclassified from cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, to other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of income. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, $16.5 million and $7.8 million have been reclassified from cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, to other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of income.
        
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities, which amended and simplified the requirements of hedge accounting. ASU 2017-12 enables companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation of all items that affect earnings to be recorded in the same income statement line as the hedged item and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-12 on July 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified $1.0 million of previously recorded hedge ineffectiveness from Reinvested Earnings to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and provided expanded disclosures of derivative activity.
    
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which 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 adoption permitted. The Company completed the accumulation of current lease information into the accounting software and validated the data for accuracy. The Company expects to elect the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company will make a policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. Upon adoption of the new lease guidance, the Company expects to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets for several types of operating leases, including buildings, equipment, vehicles and computer equipment. The Company anticipates the impact of the adoption on July 1, 2019 will result in a right-of-use asset and total lease liability related to operating leases in the range of $51 million to $57 million. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to reinvested earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018. ASU 2018-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 on July 1, 2019 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
