Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

16. Segment Reporting

We are organized into four operating segments: North America; Latin America; Europe, Middle East and 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.

Net Sales attributed to each geographic area for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: 

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30				September 30
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Americas	$	142,149	$	130,037	$	418,236	$	382,877
Europe, Middle East and Africa	40,610		37,436		124,946		116,465
Asia Pacific	19,884		21,068		62,524		57,529
Total	$	202,643	$	188,541	$	605,706	$	556,871

Net Sales are attributed to each geographic area based on the country from which the product was shipped and are net of intercompany sales.
