Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information
Segment Information 
Segment sales include transfers to another business segment. Products are transferred between segments on a basis intended to reflect, as nearly as practicable, the market value of the products. Segment pre-tax operating income (loss) (PTOI) is defined as operating income (loss) before income taxes, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest. Prior year data has been reclassified to reflect the current organizational structure.
