Accounts Receivable [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable [Text Block]	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year and are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $1,051 and $1,271 at April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively. We recognized a bad debt expense of $166 and $46, net of recoveries, during the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, and recognized a benefit of $21 and $34 from recoveries of receivables previously expensed during the three and six months ended April 30, 2017, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We continually monitor our exposure with our customers and additional consideration is given to individual accounts in light of the market conditions in the automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial markets. As a part of our working capital management, the Company has entered into factoring agreements with third party financial institutions ("institutions") for the sale of certain accounts receivable with recourse. The activity under these agreements is accounted for as sales of accounts receivable under ASC Topic 860 "Transfers and Servicing." These agreements relate exclusively to the accounts receivable of certain Italian and Swedish customers. The amounts sold vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow requirements of the Company. In addition, the agreement addresses events and conditions which may obligate us to immediately repay the institutions the outstanding purchase price of the receivables sold. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $14,803 and $7,567 as of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively. As these sales of accounts receivable are with recourse, $12,319 and $8,072 were recorded in accounts payable as of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively. The cost of selling these receivables is dependent upon the number of days between the sale date of the receivables and the date the customer’s invoice is due and the interest rate. The expense associated with the sale of these receivables is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense and interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
