Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Xerium Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading, global provider of industrial consumable products and services including machine clothing, roll coverings and mechanical services. These goods and services are used in the production of paper, paperboard, building products and nonwoven materials. Its operations are strategically located in the major paper-making regions of the world, including North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements at March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as reported on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2018. Accounting Policies Inventories, net Inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials are valued principally on a weighted average cost basis. The Company’s work in process and finished goods are specifically identified and valued based on actual inputs to production. Provisions are recorded as appropriate to write-down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating obsolete and excess inventory often requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business, while considering the general aging of inventory and factoring in any new business conditions. The components of inventories are as follows at: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Raw materials $ 15,128 $ 13,881 Work in process 30,222 27,819 Finished goods (includes consigned inventory of $7,029 at March 31, 2018 and $7,757 at December 31, 2017) 38,074 39,798 Inventory allowances (6,777 ) (6,773 ) $ 76,647 $ 74,725 Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Topic 350”). Topic 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized, but instead, must be tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or business conditions warrant. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company evaluated events and business conditions to determine if a test for an impairment of goodwill was warranted. No such events or business conditions took place during this period, therefore no test was determined to be warranted at March 31, 2018 . Warranties The Company offers warranties on certain roll products that it sells. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product sold, the country in which the product is sold and arrangements with the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in Accrued Expenses on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for such costs. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, cost per claim and new product introduction. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty claims and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The table below represents the changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 : Beginning Balance Charged to Cost of Sales Effect of Foreign Currency Translation Deduction from Reserves Ending Balance Three Months Ended March 31, 2018: $ 2,470 $ 359 $ 37 $ (239 ) $ 2,627 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017: $ 2,203 $ 235 $ 30 $ (179 ) $ 2,289 Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net income (loss) per common share has been computed and presented pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“Topic 260”). Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Weighted-average common shares outstanding–basic 16,398,076 16,153,113 Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards outstanding 257,774 — Weighted-average common shares outstanding–diluted 16,655,850 16,153,113 The following table sets forth the aggregate of the dilutive securities that were outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive or because a contingency for issuance was not yet satisfied in the period: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Anti-dilutive securities 686,208 902,988 Impairment The Company reviews its long-lived assets that have finite lives for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“Topic 360”). This topic requires that companies evaluate the fair value of long-lived assets based on the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the assets when indicators of impairment exist to determine if there is impairment to the carrying value. Any change in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of the Company's evaluation has been recorded in either restructuring expense, if it was a result of the Company's restructuring activities, or general and administrative expense for all other impairments in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had no impairment charges included in restructuring expense. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118). The amendments in ASU 2018-05 codified the amendments from SAB 118 which related to the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company already adopted SAB 118 as of December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 5 Income Taxes. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 will change how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other post-retirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company elected the practical expedient that allowed it to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note which reasonably reflects the effect of the capitalized amount of net periodic benefit cost for the prior comparative periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and, as a result, reclassified $0.4 million of Q1 2017 pension cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of net loss) out of operating income into other components of net periodic pension cost, a component of non-operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's net income or financial position. Also, no changes to cash flows resulted from adoption of this standard. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"). ASU 2016-16 eliminates the exception to the principle in ASC 740, for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory, to be deferred, until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 which resulted in an increase in 2018 opening accumulated deficit of $0.3 million representing the cumulative net impact from (1) the write-off of unamortized tax expense previously deferred in income tax receivable under the previous guidance and (2) recognition of the previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, net of any necessary valuation allowance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's net income or financial position. Also, no changes to cash flows resulted from adoption of this standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows and amends certain disclosure requirements of ASC 230. The guidance will generally be applied retrospectively and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In May of 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations. The Company will also be required to disclose information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted in January of 2018. Retrospective application is required either to all periods presented or with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not result in adjustment to the Company's financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02). The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-12, Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12). The amendments in ASU 2017-12 provide guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in today’s two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. The FASB issued new guidance that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on today’s Step 1). The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2016-02 Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 includes final guidance that requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to today’s accounting. The guidance also eliminates today’s real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Classification will continue to affect amounts that lessors record on the balance sheet. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. They have the option to use certain relief. Full retrospective application is prohibited. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods the following year. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has commenced a comprehensive project plan to direct the implementation of the new leases standard and an assessment of the impact to business processes.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company operates through two principal business segments, machine clothing and roll covers. The machine clothing segment performance obligations generally include the production of various types of industrial textiles used on paper-making machines and on other industrial applications. In the Company's roll covers segment, the performance obligations generally include the manufacturing of various types of roll covers, spreader rolls, refurbishment of previously installed roll covers, and providing mechanical services for the internal mechanisms of rolls used on paper-making machines. The contract and order economics and risks are determined to be at the segment level. Within each segment the contracts are similar. Total revenues by segment for the reporting periods on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are disclosed in Note 9. Revenue from the Company's performance obligations to customers is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred to the customer when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery including transfer of title has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains written purchase authorizations from customers for a specific product or service performance obligation at a specified price and considers delivery and transfer of title to have occurred in accordance with its shipping terms. Payment is generally due in accordance with customary payment terms once the transfer of control has occurred. Revenue is recorded net of applicable allowances, including estimated allowances for returns, rebates and other discounts. Allowances are generally estimated based upon customer trends. In the machine clothing segment, a small portion of the business has been conducted pursuant to consignment arrangements under which the Company does not recognize a sale of a product to a customer until the customer places the product into use, which typically occurs some period after the product is shipped to the customer or to a warehouse location near the customer’s facility. As part of the consignment agreement, the Company delivers the goods to a location designated by the customer. In many cases, the customer and the Company generally agree to a “sunset” date, which represents the date by which the customer must accept all risks and rewards of ownership of the product and payment terms begin. For consignment sales, revenue is generally recognized on the earlier of the actual product installation date or the “sunset” date. The costs to fulfill the Company's performance obligations at a point in time are included in inventory. Refer to balances and further discussion in Note 1. Commissions are generally earned at the point in time the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company and are expensed as incurred. Commission expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $3.3 million and $3.5 million , respectively. The Company has net accounts receivable balances from customers of $82.5 million and $76.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The Company does not have any contract receivable balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The Company had minimal contract liability balances which primarily relate to customer prepayments for certain products in its North American rolls business of $0.8 million and $0.5 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The corresponding balances as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $0.6 million and $1.1 million , respectively. Minimal revenue was recognized on these contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging	Derivatives and Hedging Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known cash amounts, the value of which are determined by foreign exchange rates. Non-designated Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rates, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of ASC Topic 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company, from time to time, may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix currencies at specified rates based on expected future cash flows to protect against the fluctuations in cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency on intercompany balances and certain purchase commitments, the Company from time to time may use foreign exchange forward contracts. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships. The value of these contracts is recognized at fair value based on market exchange forward rates and is recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs including fair value of investments that do not have the ability to redeem at net asset value as of the measurement date, or during the first quarter following the measurement date. The derivative assets or liabilities are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company determined that its derivative valuations, which are based on market exchange forward rates, fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2018
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method for accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 , Income Taxes (“Topic 740”). Under Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their financial reporting and tax basis. The assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company evaluates all available information including the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as any available projected information for future years. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the provision for income taxes was $1.3 million , as compared to $ 2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively. The decrease in tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the geographic mix of earnings. Generally, the provision for income taxes is primarily impacted by income earned in tax paying jurisdictions relative to income earned in non-tax paying jurisdictions. The majority of income recognized for purposes of computing the effective tax rate is earned in countries where the statutory income tax rates range from 15.0% to 34.8% ; however, permanent income adjustments recorded against pre-tax earnings may result in an effective tax rate that is higher or lower than the statutory tax rate in these jurisdictions. The Company generates losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is realized, as the deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions (including the net operating losses) are fully reserved in the valuation allowance. For this reason, the Company recognizes minimal income tax expense or benefit in these jurisdictions, of which the most material jurisdictions are the United States, Germany, and Australia. Due to these reserves, the geographic mix of the Company’s pre-tax earnings has a direct correlation with how high or low its annual effective tax rate is relative to consolidated earnings. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company has not completed its accounting related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), as follows: 1. Remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets - During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provisional estimate of $31.8 million discrete deferred tax expense related to the remeasurement of the U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. A corresponding tax benefit was recorded related to the reduction in valuation allowance. 2. Transition tax - During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provisional estimate related to accounting for the transition tax and its impact on tax accounting for unrepatriated foreign earnings and other foreign income inclusions. The provisional estimate resulted in $0 current or deferred tax impact primarily as a result of the historic tax loss carry-forwards and the corresponding valuation allowance against related deferred tax assets. In order to complete the accounting, the Company will continue to analyze foreign earnings calculations as well as to await clarification of certain provisions of the Tax Act. 3. Deferred tax accounting on outside basis differences of controlled foreign corporations - Consistent with the provisional estimates made during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company has recorded a provisional estimate related to the deferred tax accounting for basis differences associated with foreign subsidiaries. Historically, the Company has accrued U.S. deferred taxes in connection with certain foreign earnings which were not considered to be permanently reinvested as these earnings were expected to be distributed to the U.S. However, the transition tax has resulted in immediate U.S. taxation of previously untaxed foreign earnings. As a result, the Company has reversed the U.S. deferred taxes previously recognized on those foreign earnings that were not considered to be permanently reinvested. Additionally, future repatriation of foreign earnings (even those previously considered to be permanently reinvested) would not be expected to give rise to U.S. tax under the Tax Act’s territorial regime. Therefore, a provisional estimate has been recorded for deferred taxes on unrepatriated foreign earnings assuming none of the earnings are permanently reinvested. No additional U.S. income taxes have been provided in connection with any remaining untaxed foreign earnings or any additional outside basis difference with respect to investments in foreign subsidiaries as the Company assesses whether any investments should be considered as indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. 4. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) - In the first quarter of 2018, the Company has recorded a provisional estimate related to its GILTI inclusion, and the provisional estimate reduces U.S. tax loss carryforwards and the corresponding valuation allowance. In order to complete the accounting, the Company will await clarification of certain provisions. The deferred tax accounting for basis differences associated with foreign subsidiaries as it relates to GILTI remains incomplete and no provisional estimate has been provided. The election of an accounting policy with respect to deferred tax accounting for GILTI will depend, in part, on analyzing foreign income to estimate future GILTI inclusions, as well as clarification of certain provisions of the Tax Act. Until such analyses and clarifications are made, the Company has not made a policy decision regarding deferred tax accounting for the GILTI provision. 5. Interest Deduction Limitation - The Company has recorded a provisional estimate related to the limitation on U.S. interest expense as a result of the Tax Act. The estimate reduces the U.S. tax loss carryforwards but establishes indefinite-lived deferred tax assets for the interest that is limited. In order to complete the accounting, the Company will await clarification of certain provisions. 6. State and Local Income Taxes - The Company has recorded a provisional estimate related to the tax accounting for state and local income taxes upon enactment of the Tax Act. The Company continues to gather and analyze information available related to the impact of the Tax Act on state and local taxes and awaits clarification from the municipalities in order to complete the accounting. To the extent a provisional estimate was made, the Company utilized previously issued guidance for the Tax Act in order to reach an estimate. However, these estimates are not capable of finalization given the lack of statutory and regulatory guidance in many areas, as well as the complexity in acquiring the data required to calculate the impact on the tax accounts. The Company will revise and conclude the accounting as and when additional information is obtained, which in many cases is contingent on the timing of issuance of guidance. For these reasons, the ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts due to, among other things, additional information, changes in interpretations and assumptions management has made, and changes based on additional statutory and regulatory guidance that may be issued. Acknowledging this uncertainty, accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act will be completed within the twelve months of the use of the estimates. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had a gross amount of unrecognized tax benefit of $10.2 million , exclusive of interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefit increased by approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , as a result of new positions related to the current year primarily related to transfer pricing and foreign currency effects. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense, which were less than $0.1 million related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The tax years 2005 through 2017 remain open to examination in a number of the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject. The Company believes that it has made adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties.

The time-based units vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. • 282,240 Performance-based awards, or 50% of the total target award for each participant, have been granted in the form of performance-based units. Of these units, one half will vest based on the financial performance of the Company as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and one half will vest based on the Return on Net Assets (as defined in the 2018 LTIP) of the Company. Half of the performance-based units whose vesting is subject to the financial performance of the Company will vest based on the degree to which the Company achieves a targeted three -year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA metric, adjusted for currency fluctuations, over the performance period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The amount of units that will vest between the target threshold and target ceiling will range from 50% to 200% of the employee's total units granted.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements at March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as reported on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2018.
Inventories, net	Inventories, net Inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials are valued principally on a weighted average cost basis. The Company’s work in process and finished goods are specifically identified and valued based on actual inputs to production. Provisions are recorded as appropriate to write-down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating obsolete and excess inventory often requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business, while considering the general aging of inventory and factoring in any new business conditions.
Goodwill	Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Topic 350”). Topic 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized, but instead, must be tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or business conditions warrant. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company evaluated events and business conditions to determine if a test for an impairment of goodwill was warranted. No such events or business conditions took place during this period, therefore no test was determined to be warranted at March 31, 2018 .
Warranties	Warranties The Company offers warranties on certain roll products that it sells. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product sold, the country in which the product is sold and arrangements with the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in Accrued Expenses on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for such costs. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, cost per claim and new product introduction. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty claims and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net income (loss) per common share has been computed and presented pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“Topic 260”). Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”).
Impairment	Impairment The Company reviews its long-lived assets that have finite lives for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“Topic 360”). This topic requires that companies evaluate the fair value of long-lived assets based on the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the assets when indicators of impairment exist to determine if there is impairment to the carrying value. Any change in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of the Company's evaluation has been recorded in either restructuring expense, if it was a result of the Company's restructuring activities, or general and administrative expense for all other impairments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118). The amendments in ASU 2018-05 codified the amendments from SAB 118 which related to the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company already adopted SAB 118 as of December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 5 Income Taxes. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 will change how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other post-retirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company elected the practical expedient that allowed it to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note which reasonably reflects the effect of the capitalized amount of net periodic benefit cost for the prior comparative periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and, as a result, reclassified $0.4 million of Q1 2017 pension cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of net loss) out of operating income into other components of net periodic pension cost, a component of non-operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's net income or financial position. Also, no changes to cash flows resulted from adoption of this standard. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"). ASU 2016-16 eliminates the exception to the principle in ASC 740, for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory, to be deferred, until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 which resulted in an increase in 2018 opening accumulated deficit of $0.3 million representing the cumulative net impact from (1) the write-off of unamortized tax expense previously deferred in income tax receivable under the previous guidance and (2) recognition of the previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, net of any necessary valuation allowance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's net income or financial position. Also, no changes to cash flows resulted from adoption of this standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows and amends certain disclosure requirements of ASC 230. The guidance will generally be applied retrospectively and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In May of 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations. The Company will also be required to disclose information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted in January of 2018. Retrospective application is required either to all periods presented or with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not result in adjustment to the Company's financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02). The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-12, Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12). The amendments in ASU 2017-12 provide guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in today’s two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. The FASB issued new guidance that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on today’s Step 1). The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2016-02 Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 includes final guidance that requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to today’s accounting. The guidance also eliminates today’s real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Classification will continue to affect amounts that lessors record on the balance sheet. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. They have the option to use certain relief. Full retrospective application is prohibited. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods the following year. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has commenced a comprehensive project plan to direct the implementation of the new leases standard and an assessment of the impact to business processes.
Revenue from Contract with Customers	The Company operates through two principal business segments, machine clothing and roll covers. The machine clothing segment performance obligations generally include the production of various types of industrial textiles used on paper-making machines and on other industrial applications. In the Company's roll covers segment, the performance obligations generally include the manufacturing of various types of roll covers, spreader rolls, refurbishment of previously installed roll covers, and providing mechanical services for the internal mechanisms of rolls used on paper-making machines. The contract and order economics and risks are determined to be at the segment level. Within each segment the contracts are similar. Total revenues by segment for the reporting periods on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are disclosed in Note 9. Revenue from the Company's performance obligations to customers is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred to the customer when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery including transfer of title has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains written purchase authorizations from customers for a specific product or service performance obligation at a specified price and considers delivery and transfer of title to have occurred in accordance with its shipping terms. Payment is generally due in accordance with customary payment terms once the transfer of control has occurred. Revenue is recorded net of applicable allowances, including estimated allowances for returns, rebates and other discounts. Allowances are generally estimated based upon customer trends. In the machine clothing segment, a small portion of the business has been conducted pursuant to consignment arrangements under which the Company does not recognize a sale of a product to a customer until the customer places the product into use, which typically occurs some period after the product is shipped to the customer or to a warehouse location near the customer’s facility. As part of the consignment agreement, the Company delivers the goods to a location designated by the customer. In many cases, the customer and the Company generally agree to a “sunset” date, which represents the date by which the customer must accept all risks and rewards of ownership of the product and payment terms begin. For consignment sales, revenue is generally recognized on the earlier of the actual product installation date or the “sunset” date. The costs to fulfill the Company's performance obligations at a point in time are included in inventory. Refer to balances and further discussion in Note 1. Commissions are generally earned at the point in time the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company and are expensed as incurred.
