Segment and Geographic Information
The Company is organized into three segments: Solid Capacitors, the Film and Electrolytic segment (“Film and Electrolytic”) and MSA. 
The segments are responsible for their respective manufacturing sites as well as their research and development efforts. The Company does not allocate corporate indirect selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) or shared R&D expenses to the segments.
Solid Capacitors
Solid Capacitors operates in ten manufacturing sites in the United States, Mexico, and Asia, and operates innovation centers in the United States and Japan. Solid Capacitors primarily produces tantalum, aluminum polymer, and ceramic capacitors, which are sold globally. Solid Capacitors also produces tantalum powder used in the production of tantalum capacitors.
Film and Electrolytic
Film and Electrolytic operates in ten manufacturing sites throughout Europe and Asia, and maintain product innovation centers in Italy, Portugal, and Sweden. Film and Electrolytic primarily produces film, paper, and wet aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which are sold globally. In addition, the Film and Electrolytic segment designs and produces electromagnetic interference filters.
MSA
MSA operates in four manufacturing sites throughout Asia and operates a product innovation center in Japan. MSA primarily produces electro-magnetically compatible ("EMC") materials and devices, piezo materials and actuators, and various types of sensors, which are sold globally.
In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by primary geographical market, sales channel, and major product lines. The tables also include reconciliations of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands):
