Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill:

The following table sets forth the change in the carrying amount of goodwill for each reportable segment and for the Company as of and for the period ended September 30, 2015:



	Industrial			Aerospace		Total Company
January 1, 2015	$	564,163		$	30,786	$	594,949

Foreign currency translation	(20,067		)	—		(20,067		)
September 30, 2015	$	564,345		$	30,786	$	595,131

The changes recorded at Industrial include $20,249 of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Thermoplay in August 2015. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits that the Company expects to realize from geographical expansion, new end-market applications within the plastics market, future enhancements to technology and Thermoplay’s assembled workforce. None of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final purchase price allocation is subject to post-closing adjustments pursuant to the SPA.

In the second quarter of 2015, management performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill. Based on this assessment, there was no goodwill impairment recognized.

Other intangible assets		$	706,097		$	(178,046	)	$	706,038		$	(151,344	)

Estimated amortization of intangible assets for future periods is as follows: 2015 - $41,000; 2016 - $36,000; 2017 - $36,000; 2018 - $37,000 and 2019 - $35,000.

In connection with the acquisition of Thermoplay in August 2015, the Company recorded intangible assets of $14,770 which includes $9,860 of customer relationships, $3,180 of patents and technology, $1,470 of an indefinite life trade name and $260 of customer backlog. The weighted-average useful lives of the acquired assets were 13 years, 6 years and less than one year, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company changed its annual impairment testing of its trade names, indefinite-lived intangible assets, from July 1 to April 1. The Company believes this timing is preferable as it better aligns with its annual testing of goodwill impairment. The Company completed its annual testing in the second quarter of 2015 and determined that there were no impairments recognized.

In June 2014, the Company entered into a second Component Repair Program ("CRP") with its customer, General Electric ("GE"). This CRP provides for, among other items, the right to sell certain aftermarket component repair services for CFM56 engines directly to other customers as one of a few GE licensed suppliers. In addition, this CRP extends existing contracts under which the Company currently provides these services directly to GE. As consideration for these rights, the Company agreed to pay $80,000. The Company paid $61,000 during 2014 and $19,000 during the second quarter of 2015. The length of the program rights are for the remaining life of all CFM56 engine lines and the amortization of the intangible will be recognized as a reduction to sales over this life.
