Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 11 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During 2013, certain internal shifts in the Company's management and changes to the structure of internally reported information occurred. The Company currently believes its structure, its resource allocation and its performance assessment are now more closely aligned with its four geographical regions: North America, EMEA, Asia/Pacific and South America. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Similarly, the Company reassessed and changed its reporting units for goodwill testing purposes during 2013 to adhere to its geographical orientation. Based on its revised reporting units, the Company completed its annual impairment test as of the end of the third quarter of 2013 and no impairment charge was warranted. The estimated fair value of each of the Company's reporting units substantially exceeded its carrying value, with none of the Company's reporting units at risk for failing step one of the goodwill impairment test. In addition, the Company has recorded no impairment charges in the past.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:
