Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate continues to be lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily due to the indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings taxed at rates below the U.S. statutory rate as well as recognition of foreign tax credits. The Company has the ability to indefinitely reinvest these foreign earnings based on the earnings and cash projections of its other operations as well as cash on hand and available credit. The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits decreased $1.8 million for federal and state income tax liabilities of prior years based on the expiration of statute of limitations and foreign currency fluctuations during the third quarter ending October 3, 2015. If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by the net unrecognized tax benefits of $4.4 million as of October 3, 2015. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months due to the expiration of a statute of limitation by an amount up to $0.7 million.

The effective tax rate continues to be lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily due to the indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings taxed at rates below the U.S. statutory rate as well as recognition of foreign tax credits. The Company has the ability to indefinitely reinvest these foreign earnings based on the earnings and cash projections of its other operations as well as cash on hand and available credit.

The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits decreased $1.8 million for federal and state income tax liabilities of prior years based on the expiration of statute of limitations and foreign currency fluctuations during the third quarter ending October 3, 2015.

If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by the net unrecognized tax benefits of $4.4 million as of October 3, 2015.

It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months due to the expiration of a statute of limitation by an amount up to $0.7 million.
