Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the carrying amount of goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount equal to the excess.

The amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows (millions of dollars):



	Goodwill										Indefinite-Lived Assets – Trade Names
	North America			Latin America		Africa/Asia Pacific			Total		North America		Europe		Total
Balance, December 31, 2014	$	17.0		$	3.0	$	2.8		$	22.8	$	0.3	$	0.4	$	0.7

Balance, October 2, 2015	$	16.6		$	3.9	$	2.5		$	23.0	$	0.3	$	0.4	$	0.7

The amounts of other intangible assets were as follows (millions of dollars):



	October 2, 2015			December 31, 2014
Amortized intangible assets:
Amortized intangible assets	$	129.4		$	131.0
Accumulated amortization	(85.5		)	(78.1		)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(5.4		)	(3.1		)
Amortized intangible assets, net	$	38.5		$	49.8

Amortized intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization as of October 2, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Other intangible assets have been determined to have a useful life in the range of 7 to 12 years. The approximate weighted average useful life of the amortized intangible assets is 10 years. For customer relationships, the Company has accelerated the amortization expense to align with the historical customer attrition rates. All other amortized intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended October 2, 2015 and September 26, 2014 was $7.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense during the twelve month periods beginning October 2, 2015 through October 2, 2020 and thereafter, based on exchange rates as of October 2, 2015, is $9.3 million, $8.0 million, $5.6 million, $5.0 million, $3.4 million and $7.2 million thereafter.
