Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

17. Segment Reporting

We are organized into four operating segments: North America; Latin America; Europe, Middle East, Africa; and Asia Pacific. We combine our North America and Latin America operating segments into the “Americas” for reporting Net Sales by geographic area. In accordance with the objective and basic principles of the applicable accounting guidance, we aggregate our operating segments into one reportable segment that consists of the design, manufacture and sale of products used primarily in the maintenance of nonresidential surfaces.

The following table presents the Net Sales by operating segment for the years ended December 31:

	2012		2011		2010
Net Sales:
Americas	$	491,661	$	481,426	$	424,462
Europe, Middle East, Africa	166,208		188,338		172,619
Asia Pacific	81,111		84,234		70,586
Total	$	738,980	$	753,998	$	667,667

The following table presents long lived assets by operating segment as of December 31:

	2012		2011		2010
Long-lived assets:
Americas	$	99,666	$	98,855	$	98,258

Asia Pacific	4,499		5,183		4,312
Total	$	135,056	$	133,428	$	137,067

Accounting policies of the operations in the various operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net Sales are attributed to each operating segment based on the country from which the product is shipped and are net of intercompany sales. Information regarding sales to customers geographically located in the United States is provided in Item 1, Segment and Geographic Area Financial Information. No single customer represents more than 10% of our consolidated Net Sales. Long-lived assets consist of Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill, Intangible Assets and certain other assets.
