Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Mettler-Toledo International Inc. ("Mettler-Toledo" or the "Company") is a leading global supplier of precision instruments and services. The Company manufactures weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial, packaging, logistics and food retailing applications. The Company also manufactures several related analytical instruments and provides automated chemistry solutions used in drug and chemical compound discovery and development. In addition, the Company manufactures metal detection and other end-of-line inspection systems used in production and packaging and provides solutions for use in certain process analytics applications. The Company's primary manufacturing facilities are located in China, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Columbus, Ohio and Greifensee, Switzerland. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all entities in which the Company has control, which are its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015 . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. A discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in its existing trade accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based upon a review of both specific accounts for collection and the age of the accounts receivable portfolio. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required. Inventories consisted of the following: June 30, December 31, Raw materials and parts $ 100,031 $ 97,969 Work-in-progress 41,625 34,973 Finished goods 81,619 71,589 $ 223,275 $ 204,531 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment". Other intangible assets consisted of the following: June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Intangibles, Net Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Intangibles, Net Customer relationships $ 97,396 $ (29,098 ) $ 68,298 $ 98,325 $ (28,159 ) $ 70,166 Proven technology and patents 46,012 (31,890 ) 14,122 45,588 (30,761 ) 14,827 Tradename (finite life) 4,317 (2,230 ) 2,087 4,140 (1,786 ) 2,354 Tradename (indefinite life) 24,775 — 24,775 24,947 — 24,947 Other 1,555 (1,181 ) 374 1,573 (1,083 ) 490 $ 174,055 $ (64,399 ) $ 109,656 $ 174,573 $ (61,789 ) $ 112,784 The Company recognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $1.6 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively and $3.1 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated at $6.1 million for 2015 , $5.7 million for 2016 , $5.3 million for 2017 , $5.0 million for 2018 , $4.7 million for 2019 and $4.5 million for 2020 . Purchased intangible amortization was $1.4 million , $0.9 million after tax, and $1.4 million , $1.0 million after tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively and $2.8 million , $1.9 million after tax, and $2.7 million , $1.9 million after tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $6.0 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively and $11.9 million and $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title to a product has transferred and any significant customer obligations have been fulfilled. Standard shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point in most countries and, accordingly, title and risk of loss transfers upon shipment. In countries where title cannot legally transfer before delivery, the Company defers revenue recognition until delivery has occurred. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is recorded in cost of sales for all periods presented. Other than a few small software applications, the Company does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the instrument. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products. To the extent the Company’s solutions have a post-shipment obligation, such as customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until the obligation has been completed. The Company defers product revenue where installation is required, unless such installation is deemed perfunctory. The Company also sometimes enters into certain arrangements that require the separate delivery of multiple goods and/or services. These deliverables are accounted for separately if the deliverables have standalone value and the performance of undelivered items is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the separate deliverables is typically based on the relative selling price at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install and geographic location. Further, certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the customer upon title transfer. Revenue is recognized on these products upon transfer of title and risk of loss to its distributors. Distributor discounts are offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized upon title and risk of loss transfer which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues from service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period. Service contracts are separately priced and payment is typically received from the customer at the beginning of the contract period. Warranty The Company generally offers one -year warranties on most of its products. Estimated product warranties are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates, material usage and service costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Employee Termination Benefits In situations where contractual termination benefits exist, the Company records accruals for employee termination benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. All other employee termination arrangements are recognized and measured at their fair value at the communication date unless the employee is required to render additional service beyond the legal notification period, in which case the liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $3.5 million and $7.0 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $6.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2014 . Research and Development Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into certain interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The amount of the Company's fixed obligation interest payments may change based upon the expiration dates of its interest rate swap agreements and the level and composition of its debt. The Company also enters into certain foreign currency forward contracts to limit the Company's exposure to currency fluctuations on the respective hedged items. As also mentioned in Note 6, the Company has designated its euro denominated debt as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign operations. For additional disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments, also see Note 4. Cash Flow Hedges In July 2012, the Company began entering into foreign currency forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge certain forecasted intercompany sales denominated in euro with its Swiss-based business. The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2015 were $52.5 million (Euro 47.0 million ) for contracts that mature in 2015 and $74.3 million (Euro 66.5 million ) for contracts that mature in 2016. The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2014 was $87.0 million (Euro 71.5 million ) for contracts that mature in 2015. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was a gain of $1.4 million and a loss of $0.1 million , respectively. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) during the six months period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was a gain of $24.2 million and a loss of $0.2 million , respectively. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement is a swap which has the effect of changing the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments associated with $100 million in forecasted borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to a fixed obligation of 3.24% . The swap began in October 2010 and matures in October 2015. In June 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement will change the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments associated with $50 million in forecasted borrowings under the Company's credit agreement to a fixed obligation of 2.52% beginning in October 2015. In March 2015, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement. The agreement will change the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments associated with $100 million in forecasted borrowings under the Company's credit agreement to a fixed obligation of 2.25% beginning in February 2017. The Company's cash flow hedges are recorded gross at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and disclosed in Note 4. Amounts reclassified into other comprehensive income and the effective portions of the cash flow hedges are further disclosed in Note 8. A derivative gain of $9.0 million based upon interest rates and foreign currency rates at June 30, 2015, is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next 12 months. Through June 30, 2015, no hedge ineffectiveness has occurred in relation to the cash flow hedges. Other Derivatives The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to economically hedge short-term trade and non-trade intercompany balances largely denominated in Swiss franc, other major European currencies, and the Chinese Renminbi with its foreign businesses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these contracts are considered “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.” Gains or losses on these instruments are reported in current earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and disclosed in Note 4. The Company recognized in other charges (income), a net loss of $0.2 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and a net loss of $9.5 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gains and losses are primarily offset by the underlying transaction gains on the related intercompany balances.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had derivative assets totaling $19.9 million and $2.2 million , respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling $3.4 million and $5.6 million , respectively. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreement, foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $7.7 million and $14.2 million of cash equivalents, respectively, the fair value of which is determined through quoted and corroborated prices in active markets. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates cost. The fair value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was estimated using Level 2 inputs, primarily discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company. The carrying value of the Company's debt exceeds the fair value by approximately $4.1 million as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of the Company's debt exceeds the carrying value by approximately $17.8 million as of December 31, 2014, respectively. Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities Level 3: Unobservable inputs The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 : June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 7,689 $ — $ 7,689 $ — $ 14,188 $ — $ 14,188 $ — Interest rate swap agreement 440 — 440 — — — — — Foreign currency forwards contracts designed as cash flow hedges 18,142 — 18,142 — 567 — 567 — Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments 1,279 — 1,279 — 1,611 — 1,611 — Total $ 27,550 $ — $ 27,550 $ — $ 16,366 $ — $ 16,366 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreement $ 2,871 $ — $ 2,871 $ — $ 3,768 $ — $ 3,768 $ — Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments 534 — 534 — 1,799 — 1,799 — Total $ 3,405 $ — $ 3,405 $ — $ 5,567 $ — $ 5,567 $ — |

Changes in the carrying value of this debt resulting from fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income (loss). The unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to this net investment hedge was $0.5 million for the period ended June 30, 2015 . Issuance costs approximating $0.4 million will be amortized to interest expense over the fifteen year term of the Euro Senior Notes. |

Jun. 30, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in its existing trade accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based upon a review of both specific accounts for collection and the age of the accounts receivable portfolio. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required. Inventories consisted of the following: June 30, December 31, Raw materials and parts $ 100,031 $ 97,969 Work-in-progress 41,625 34,973 Finished goods 81,619 71,589 $ 223,275 $ 204,531 |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment".

The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated at $6.1 million for 2015 , $5.7 million for 2016 , $5.3 million for 2017 , $5.0 million for 2018 , $4.7 million for 2019 and $4.5 million for 2020 .

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title to a product has transferred and any significant customer obligations have been fulfilled. Standard shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point in most countries and, accordingly, title and risk of loss transfers upon shipment. In countries where title cannot legally transfer before delivery, the Company defers revenue recognition until delivery has occurred. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is recorded in cost of sales for all periods presented. Other than a few small software applications, the Company does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the instrument. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products. To the extent the Company’s solutions have a post-shipment obligation, such as customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until the obligation has been completed. The Company defers product revenue where installation is required, unless such installation is deemed perfunctory. The Company also sometimes enters into certain arrangements that require the separate delivery of multiple goods and/or services. These deliverables are accounted for separately if the deliverables have standalone value and the performance of undelivered items is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the separate deliverables is typically based on the relative selling price at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install and geographic location. Further, certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the customer upon title transfer. Revenue is recognized on these products upon transfer of title and risk of loss to its distributors. Distributor discounts are offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized upon title and risk of loss transfer which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues from service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period. Service contracts are separately priced and payment is typically received from the customer at the beginning of the contract period. |
Warranty | Warranty The Company generally offers one -year warranties on most of its products. Estimated product warranties are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates, material usage and service costs incurred in correcting a product failure. |
Employee Termination Benefits | Employee Termination Benefits In situations where contractual termination benefits exist, the Company records accruals for employee termination benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. All other employee termination arrangements are recognized and measured at their fair value at the communication date unless the employee is required to render additional service beyond the legal notification period, in which case the liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. |
Share - Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $3.5 million and $7.0 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $6.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2014 . |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred. |
