Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of Business
	Jason Industries, Inc. (f/k/a Quinpario Acquisition Corp., “Jason Industries”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a diversified industrial manufacturing company with four reportable segments: seating, finishing, acoustics, and components. The segments have separate management teams and have operations within the United States and 14 foreign countries. Through these segments, the Company is a global or domestic leader in a number of product categories. The Company is the leading producer of seating for the motorcycle and off-road vehicle sectors, and the leading supplier of static seats to the commercial and residential lawn/turf sector. The Company is also a leading producer of non-woven acoustical fiber insulation for the automotive sector and the leading global manufacturer of industrial consumables (brushes, buffing wheels and buffing compounds). The Company also manufactures precision components, expanded and perforated metal, and slip-resistant walking surfaces.
	The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2013 as a blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. On June 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated its business combination with Jason Partners Holdings Inc. (“Jason”) pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, dated as of March 16, 2014, which provided for the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Jason by the Company (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Quinpario Acquisition Corp. to Jason Industries, Inc. and commenced trading of its common stock and warrants under the symbols, “JASN” and “JASNW”, respectively, on NASDAQ. See Note 2 for a further discussion of the Business Combination.
	Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, its initial public offering, and the search for suitable business acquisition transactions.
	Basis of Presentation
	As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Jason is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a “Predecessor” for Jason for periods prior to the Closing Date.  The Company was subsequently re-established as Jason Industries, Inc. and is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes consolidation of Jason subsequent to the Business Combination on June 30, 2014.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired.  See Note 2 for further discussion of the Business Combination.  As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective date of the acquisition, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis and, therefore, are not comparable.
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Throughout the year, the Company reports its results using a fiscal calendar whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length, ending on a Friday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on December 31. For 2014, the Company’s fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 28, June 27, September 26 and December 31. In 2013, the Company’s fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 29, June 28, September 27 and December 31.
	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in partially owned affiliates are accounted for using the equity method when the Company’s interest is between 20% and 50% and the Company does not have a controlling interest, yet maintains significant influence.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, book overdrafts of approximately $6.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, are included in accounts payable within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These amounts are held in accounts in which the Company has no right of offset with other cash balances.
	Accounts receivable
	The Company evaluates collectability of its receivables and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and historical write-off experience. Credit is extended to customers based upon an evaluation of their financial position. Generally, advance payment is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and consistently have been within management’s expectations.
	Inventories
	Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are valued at the lower of cost or market and adjusted for the value of inventory that is estimated to be excess, obsolete or otherwise unmarketable. The estimation of excess, obsolete and unmarketable inventory is based on a variety of factors, including material or product age, estimated usage and estimated market demand. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine cost for all of the Company’s inventories.
	Property, plant and equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation generally occurs using the straight-line method over 2 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 7 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and 20 years for land improvements.
	Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the respective leases and the useful life of the related improvement using the straight-line method. The Company uses accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes. Expenditures which substantially increase value or extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records gains and losses on the disposition or retirement of property, plant and equipment based on the net book value and any proceeds received.
	Goodwill and other intangible assets
	Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the aggregate fair value assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or indicators of potential impairment occur. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing based upon the relative fair value of the asset to each reporting unit.
	Impairment of goodwill is measured according to a two-step approach. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the implied value of the goodwill is estimated as the fair value of the reporting unit less the fair value of all other tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk in the event that goodwill becomes impaired.
	As a result of acquisition accounting for the Business Combination, the carrying value of each of the Company’s reporting units was equal to its fair value on the acquisition date. In performing the annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2014, the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values of all of the Company’s reporting units. In one of the Company’s reporting units, the percentage by which estimated fair value exceeded carrying value was less than 10%. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the periods June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Amortization is recorded for other intangible assets with determinable lives. Patents, customer relationships, and trademarks and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 7 years, 10 to 15 years, and 5 to 18 years, respectively.
	Investments in partially-owned affiliates
	The Company has investments in joint ventures located in Asia. These joint ventures are part of the Finishing segment and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $6.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and is included in other assets-net in the consolidated balance sheets. Equity income is presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for further discussion of the sale of two of the Company’s joint ventures during 2014.
	Income taxes
	The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes on income. Deferred taxes are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss and credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of such net assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The carrying amounts within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company assessed the amounts recorded under revolving loans, if any, and long-term debt and determined that such amounts approximated fair value. The Company considers the inputs related to these estimations to be Level 2 fair value measurements.
	Current accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with the guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
	•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	•	Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
	•	Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
	Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
	Foreign currency translation
	Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose respective functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar, are translated at year-end exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Resultant gains and losses are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
	Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements
	The Company’s policy for engineering, research and development, and other design and development costs related to products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements requires such costs to be expensed as incurred. Costs for molds, dies, and other tools used to manufacture products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements are capitalized if the Company has title to the assets or when customer reimbursement is assured.
	Long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based upon an estimate of the related future undiscounted cash flows. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset as compared to its carrying value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment reviews at the lowest level in which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows of other assets and liabilities, which is generally at the facility level.
	Revenue recognition
	Revenue is recognized from product sales at the time that title and risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment. Customer sales are recorded net of allowances for returns and discounts. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and review of its existing receivables.
	Shipping and handling fees and costs
	The Company classifies all amounts invoiced to customers related to shipping and handling as sales. Expenses for transportation of products to customers are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
	Research and development costs
	Research and development costs consist of engineering and development resources and are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products were $2.1 million in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, $2.7 million in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, and $5.0 million and $4.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
	Advertising costs
	Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred and were $1.2 million in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, $1.3 million in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, and $2.6 million and $3.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Transaction-related expenses
	The Company incurs transaction-related expenses primarily consisting of professional service fees and costs related to business acquisition activities. The Company recognized transaction-related expenses of $2.5 million in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, $27.8 million in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and $1.1 million and $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which primarily includes fees related to the Business Combination and related transactions. The transaction-related expenses were recognized as incurred in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on business combinations.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Concentration risks
	The Company’s operations are geographically dispersed and it has a diverse customer base. Management believes bad debt losses resulting from default by a single customer, or defaults by customers in any depressed region or business sector, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no individual customers that accounted for greater than 10% of consolidated net sales. The largest individual customer during each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 accounted for 7%, 7% and 6%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, no customers accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance.
	Reclassification
	The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 included herein reflects separately presented “Transaction-related expenses”, the total amounts of which had previously been included within “Selling and administrative expenses”. Such prior year amounts have been reclassified in the comparative periods presented to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, certain prior period amounts in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
	Recently issued accounting standards
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The ASU becomes effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2017 fiscal year; early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance changing the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operating and financial results. The new guidance also expanded the disclosure requirements about discontinued operations. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the Company’s future disposal activity.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance designed to clarify the financial statement presentation requirements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance for cumulative translation adjustments upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. These amendments provide guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, these amendments provide guidance on the release of cumulative translation adjustments in partial sales of equity method investments and in step acquisitions. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consummation of Business Combination
	2	Consummation of Business Combination
	On June 30, 2014, the Company and Jason completed the Business Combination in which JPHI Holdings Inc. (“JPHI”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100 percent of the capital stock of Jason. The purchase price of $536.0 million was funded by the cash proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering, new debt, the issuance of 45,000 shares of 8% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and rollover equity invested by Jason’s former owners and management of Jason (collectively the “Rollover Participants”). For the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $27.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of transaction expenses directly related to the Business Combination.
	Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Jason became an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, with the Company owning approximately 83.1 percent of JPHI and the Rollover Participants owning a noncontrolling interest of approximately 16.9 percent of JPHI. The Rollover Participants received 3,485,623 shares of JPHI, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock of the Company.
	In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all indebtedness under Jason’s U.S. credit facility was repaid in full, and the Company replaced Jason’s existing credit agreement with a new $460.0 million senior secured credit facility. See Note 8 for further discussion of the new senior secured credit facility.
	The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the Company’s results as though Jason and the Company had combined at January 1, 2013. Pro forma net earnings attributable to common shareholders were adjusted to exclude $38.4 million of transaction-related expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2014. Pro forma earnings attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 were adjusted to include these transaction-related expenses, and were adjusted by $5.8 million of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Sale of Joint Ventures
	3	Sale of Joint Ventures
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had agreed to terms to sell its interest in two of its joint ventures. As such, the investment value associated with these joint ventures in the amount of $8.2 million was included as a current asset on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, equity income associated with these investments was $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
	During the predecessor period, the Company completed the sale of these joint ventures for a total of $11.5 million. The sale of one of the joint ventures for $7.5 million was completed in January 2014, and the sale of the second joint venture for$4.0 million was completed in March 2014. The Company recorded a $3.5 million gain on the sale of the joint ventures, which is reported separately on the consolidated statements of operations. The gain includes the recognition of $0.6 million of cumulative translation adjustments which had been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The $0.6 million is reported separately in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Terms of the sale include a supply agreement that will allow Jason to purchase product at established prices over the agreement’s three-year term.

	Senior Secured Credit Facilities (Successor)
	In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all indebtedness under Jason’s U.S. credit facility was repaid in full. Jason Incorporated (“Jason Inc”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the borrower, replaced Jason’s existing credit agreement with a new $460.0 million U.S. credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The new facility included (i) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million (“First Lien Term Loans”) maturing in 7 years, (ii) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $110.0 million (“Second Lien Term Loans”) maturing in 8 years, and (iii) a revolving loan of up to $40.0 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing in 5 years. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the full amount of the First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans were drawn, and no revolving loans were drawn. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $13.5 million in connection with the refinancing that are included in other long-term assets and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the respective borrowings on a straight-line basis.
	The principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments equal to $0.8 million, with the balance payable at maturity. At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the “prime rate” of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Eurocurrency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 3.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 2.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 7.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 4.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 3.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 8.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans. Borrowings under the First Lien Term Facility and Second Lien Term Facility are subject to a floor of 1.00% in the case of Eurocurrency loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be adjusted after the completion of Jason Inc’s first full fiscal quarter after the closing of the Business Combination based upon Jason Inc’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio.
	At December 31, 2014, the interest rates on the outstanding balances of the First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans were 5.5% and 9.0%, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Company had a total of $36.0 million of availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as the Company had no outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding of $4.0 million, which reduce availability under the facility.
	Under the Revolving Credit Facility, if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letter of credit obligations exceed 25 percent of the revolving credit commitments at the end of any fiscal quarter, Jason Inc and its restricted subsidiaries will be required to not exceed a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, initially specified at 5.50 to 1.00, with periodic decreases beginning on July 1, 2016 to 5.25 to 1.00 and decreasing to 4.50 to 1.00 on December 31, 2017 and remaining at that level thereafter. If such outstanding amounts do not exceed 25 percent of the revolving credit commitments at the end of any fiscal quarter, no financial covenants are applicable.
	Jason Credit Facility (Predecessor)
	In February 2013, the Company replaced its existing credit agreement with a $260.0 million senior secured credit facility. The new facility included a six-year, $225.0 million senior secured term loan and a five-year, $35.0 million revolving loan. The borrowings under the term loan, along with existing cash, were used to retire borrowings outstanding under a previous term loan of $178.5 million, redeem 17,757.7 shares of preferred stock for $24.8 million, pay a cash dividend to common shareholders of $25.0 million and pay various expenses associated with the refinancing. In November 2013, the credit facility was amended to increase term loan borrowings by $10.0 million, as allowed by the agreement.
	The refinancing of the term loan portion of the former facility resulted in recognition of a significant portion of the debt as a debt extinguishment in the first quarter of 2013. The extinguishment was caused by the change in the projected present value of cash flows under the credit agreement, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $5.4 million. This amount is included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 and includes $4.0 million of lender fees incurred through the refinancing as well as a $1.4 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the former credit facility. In addition, the Company has included $0.2 million in interest expense related to other debt issuance costs that were allocated to a portion of the debt which the Company treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized additional debt issuance costs of $2.6 million in connection with the refinancing that will be expensed over the life of the term loan. Furthermore, the Company capitalized an additional $1.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the refinancing of the revolving loan facility. These costs were amortized over the life of the agreement on a straight-line basis. The November 2013 amendment discussed above was deemed to be a debt modification. Total debt issuance costs of $0.6 million were incurred. These costs included $0.3 million of lender costs that were capitalized, and $0.3 million of other third-party costs that were expensed and included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the term loan was 5.0%.
	Foreign debt
	At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded $6.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively, in foreign debt obligations, including various overdraft facilities and term loans. The largest foreign debt balances are held by the Company’s subsidiaries in Germany (approximately $5.2 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively), Mexico (approximately $0.0 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively) and Brazil (approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). These various foreign loans are comprised of individual outstanding obligations ranging from approximately $0.1 million to $2.6 million and $0.1 million to $3.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Future annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2014 are as follows:

	2016		4,163

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share Based Compensation
	11	Share Based Compensation
	The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and directors, including restricted stock units and performance share units, which are restricted stock units with vesting conditions contingent upon achieving certain performance goals. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards based on assumptions as of the grant date. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those awards expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years for restricted stock awards and the performance period for performance share units. The Company estimates the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management’s expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan
	In connection with the approval of the Business Combination, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by shareholders to provide incentives to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the 2014 Plan are generally not restricted to any specific form or structure and could include, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards (including restricted stock units), performance awards, other stock-based awards, and other cash-based awards. There were 3,473,435 shares of common stock reserved and authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan. At December 31, 2014, there were 685,187 shares of common stock authorized and available for grant under the 2014 Plan.
	Share Based Compensation Expense
	Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved an initial grant under the 2014 Plan to certain executive officers, senior management employees, and the Board of Directors. The total compensation expense related to the 2014 Plan was $4.1 million for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense was $1.3 million for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, $15.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation plans is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation expense to be recognized in future periods as of December 31, 2014 does not consider the effect of share-based awards that may be issued in subsequent periods.
	General Terms of Awards
	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has discretion to establish the terms and conditions for grants, including the number of shares, vesting and required service or other performance criteria. Restricted stock unit and performance share unit awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting, or continued eligibility for vesting, upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee, termination of the grantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control of the Company. Dividend equivalents on common stock, if any, are accrued for restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees and paid in the form of cash or stock depending on the form of the dividend, at the same time that the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock unit are delivered to the employee. All restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees are payable in shares of common stock and are classified as equity awards.
	The rights granted to the recipient of employee restricted stock unit awards generally vest annually in equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date over the restriction or vesting period, which is generally three years. Vested restricted stock units are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the vesting date. The Company records compensation expense of restricted stock unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.
	Performance share unit awards based on cumulative performance metrics are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock. The number of share units awarded can range from zero to 150% depending on achievement of a targeted performance metric, and are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the end of the performance period. The Company expenses the cost of the performance-based share unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratably over the performance period of three years.
	Performance share unit awards based on achievement of certain established stock price targets are payable in common stock as the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds established stock price targets in any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period during the performance period. The Company expenses the cost of the stock price-based performance share unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant ratably over the derived service period of the award.
	The Company also issues restricted stock units as share-based compensation for members of the Board of Directors. Director restricted stock units vest one year from the date of grant. In the event of termination of a member’s service on the Board of Directors prior to a vesting date, all unvested restricted stock units of such holder will be forfeited. Vested restricted stock units are delivered to members of the Board of Directors six months following the termination of their directorship. All awards granted are payable in shares of common stock or cash payment equal to the fair market value of the shares at the discretion of our Compensation Committee, and are classified as equity awards due to their expected settlement in common stock. Compensation expense for these awards is measured based upon the fair value of the awards at the date of grant. Dividend equivalents on common stock are accrued for restricted stock units awarded to the Board of Directors and paid in the form of cash or stock depending on the form of the dividend, at the same time that the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock unit are delivered to a member of the Board of Directors following the termination of their directorship.
	Restricted Stock Units
	Nonvested restricted stock unit awards as of December 31, 2014, and changes during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 were as follows:
		Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

	Nonvested at December 31, 2014	762	$	10.5
	Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $1.6 million for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, there was $6.4 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to 762,075 restricted stock unit awards, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.50, that are expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date.
	Performance Share Units
	Nonvested performance share unit awards as of December 31, 2014, and changes during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 were as follows:
		Adjusted EBITDA Vesting Awards			Stock Price Vesting Awards

	Adjusted EBITDA Vesting Awards
	During the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, 1,215,704 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers and senior management employees, payable upon the achievement of certain established cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance targets over a three year performance period. The performance period for the shares awarded during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017. Distributions under these awards are payable at the end of the performance period in common stock. The total potential payouts for awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 range from zero to 1,215,704 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, which was $10.49 per share. These awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting or continued eligibility for vesting upon specified events, including death, permanent disability or retirement of the grantee or a change in control of the Company.
	Compensation expense for cumulative Adjusted EBITDA based performance share unit awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is currently being recognized based on an estimated payout of 100% of target, or 810,469 shares. Compensation expense related to performance share unit awards for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 was $1.4 million. As of December 31, 2014, there was $7.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
	Stock Price Vesting Awards
	In addition, during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, 810,469 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers and senior management employees and are payable upon the achievement of certain established stock price targets for the Company’s common stock during a three year performance period. The performance period for the shares awarded during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017. Distributions under these awards are payable in common stock as the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds established stock price targets in any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period during the performance period. The weighted-average fair value of stock price based performance awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 was $3.54 per share, and was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation assuming an average risk-free interest rate of 0.88%, expected volatility of 17%, and zero dividends. The expected volatility was derived from the closing market price of the Company’s exchange traded warrants to purchase common stock as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average derived service period for stock price based performance awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 was 1.7 years.
	Compensation expense related to stock price-based performance share unit awards for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 was $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2014, there was $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
	Share Based Compensation (Predecessor)
	Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Jason Partners Holdings LLC (“Jason LLC”), the former parent company of Jason, had granted various classes of its common units to certain executives and directors of Jason. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, compensation cost related to the units granted was recognized in Jason’s financial statements over the vesting period. In each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized $0.2 million of compensation expense related to these units. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, all unvested units became fully vested and Jason recognized $7.6 million of compensation expense during the predecessor period. During the predecessor period from January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, Jason recognized $7.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, and the related income tax benefit was $2.5 million.

Earnings per Share
	12	Earnings per Share
	Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to Jason Industries’ common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing dilutive income (loss) per share, basic income (loss) per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially diluted share-based awards, including warrants, restricted stock units, performance share units, convertible preferred stock, and Rollover Shares of JPHI convertible into shares of Jason Industries.
	The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares is as follows:

	-1	During the year ended December 31, 2012, the German tax authorities issued a favorable tax ruling which allowed the Company to restore its German net operating loss. This benefit was partially offset by an increase in the tax reserve.
	-2	During the year ended December 31 2013, the U.S. taxation of foreign earnings includes the recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings that are no longer considered permanently reinvested.
	The Company’s temporary differences which gave rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
		Successor				Predecessor

Net deferred tax liability	$	(80,270	)		$	(19,058	)
At December 31, 2014, the Company has U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire at various dates through 2034, approximating $11.0 million and $48.1 million, respectively. In addition, the Company has U.S. state tax credit carryforwards of $1.3 million which expire between 2016 and 2029. The Company’s foreign net operating loss carryforwards total approximately $31.4 million (at December 31, 2014 exchange rates). The majority of these foreign net operating loss carryforwards are available for an indefinite period.
Valuation allowances totaling $3.9 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, have been established for deferred income tax assets primarily related to certain subsidiary loss carryforwards that may not be realized. Realization of the net deferred income tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred income tax assets will be realized. The amount of the net deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if future taxable income during the carryforward period fluctuates.
Changes in the Company’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
	Successor				Predecessor

Balance at end of period	$	2,743			$	2,020			$	3,691		$	2,556
Of the $2.7 million, $3.7 million, and $2.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, approximately $1.0 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax provision. During the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any interest or penalties that were recognized as a component of the income tax provision.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no accrued interest and penalties related to taxes included within the consolidated balance sheets. During the next twelve months, the Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company, along with its subsidiaries, files returns in the U.S. Federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With certain exceptions, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and state taxing authorities for the taxable years in the following table. The Company does not expect the results of these examinations to have a material impact on the Company.

The cumulative undistributed earnings of all non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $50.9 million as of December 31, 2014. The Company has not provided any deferred taxes on these undistributed earnings as it considers the undistributed earnings to be permanently reinvested. If all such undistributed earnings were remitted, an additional income tax provision of approximately $14.7 million would have been necessary as of December 31, 2014.

	The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan for substantially all full time U.S. employees (the “401(k) Plan”). Company contributions are allocated to accounts set aside for each employee’s retirement. Employees generally may contribute up to 50% of their compensation to individual accounts within the 401(k) Plan. While contributions vary, the Company generally makes base contributions to employee accounts equal to 1% of each employee’s eligible annual cash compensation, subject to IRS limitations. In addition, the Company can elect to match up to 75% of the first 6% of each employee’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Expense recognized related to the 401(k) Plan totaled approximately $0.6 million, $1.4 million, $2.5 million and $1.7 million for the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	The expected return on plan assets is based on the Company’s expectation of the long-term average rate of return of the capital markets in which the plans invest. The expected return reflects the target asset allocations and considers the historical returns earned for each asset category. The Company determines the discount rate assumptions by referencing high-quality long-term bond rates that are matched to the duration of our benefit obligations, with appropriate consideration of local market factors, participant demographics and benefit payment terms.
	The gross amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans consisted of the following:

	Unrecognized loss	$	2,096			$	997			$	249			$	1,327
	In the next fiscal year, no amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic (benefit) cost.
	The Company’s investment policies employ an approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The investment portfolio primarily contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Equity investments are diversified across domestic and non-domestic stocks, and investment and market risk are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis. The Company’s actual asset allocations are in line with target allocations and the Company does not have concentration within individual or similar investments that would pose a significant concentration risk to the Company.
	The Company’s pension plan asset allocations by asset category at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
		U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans
	Successor			Predecessor			Successor				Predecessor

No assets were transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.
Quoted market prices are used to value investments when available. Investments in securities traded on exchanges are valued at the last reported sale prices on the last business day of the year or, if not available, the last reported bid prices.
The Company’s cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans in 2015 are estimated to be approximately $0.5 million. Estimated projected benefit payments from the plans as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:
2015	$	1,235
2016	1,213
2017	1,619

Multiemployer plan
Morton hourly union employees were covered under the National Shopmen Pension Fund (EIN 52-6122274, plan number 001), a union-sponsored and trusteed multiemployer plan which required the Company to contribute a negotiated amount per hour worked by the employees covered by the plan. The Company made the decision to withdraw from this plan in August 2012. In connection with the withdrawal the Company recorded an expense of $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This represented the estimated present value of the Company’s obligation to the plan as of that date. This amount was included as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations. The withdrawal amount was finalized during 2013 and the Company reduced its liability by reversing expense of $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, a liability of $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, is recorded within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The liability will be paid in equal monthly installments through April 2026, and interest expense will be incurred associated with the discounting of this liability through that date.
Postretirement health care and life insurance plans
The Company also provides postretirement health care benefits and life insurance coverage to certain eligible former employees at one of its segments. The costs of retiree health care benefits and life insurance coverage are accrued over the employee benefit period.

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was a blended rate of 5.50% and 6.70% at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. It was assumed that these rates will decline by 1% to 2% every 5 years for the next 15 years for the hourly and salaried plans. An increase or decrease in the medical trend rate of 1% would increase or decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments, Geographic and Customer Information
	15	Business Segments, Geographic and Customer Information
	The Company identifies its segments using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.
	The Company is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and is organized into four reportable segments: seating, acoustics, finishing and components. The seating segment is the leading producer of seating for the motorcycle and off-road vehicle sectors, and the leading supplier of static seats to the commercial and residential lawn/turf sector. Industry segments served also include construction equipment, agricultural equipment, utility vehicles, material handling, and mobility. The acoustics segment is the largest global supplier of non-woven acoustical and thermal fiber insulation for the automotive and transportation sectors. The finishing segment is the leading global manufacturer of industrial consumables, including brushes, buffing wheels, and buffing compounds. Industry segments served include aerospace, engineering, plastic, finishing, building, leisure, steel, hardware, welding and naval, among others. The components segment manufactures precision components, expanded and perforated metal, and slip-resistant walking surfaces. These products are used by the rail, industrial, energy, and lawn/turf sectors.
	Net sales relating to the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

	The Company uses “Adjusted EBITDA” as the primary measure of profit or loss for the purposes of assessing the operating performance of its segments. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including long-lived asset impairment charges, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees and special employee bonuses, Newcomerstown fire losses and gains, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal expense (gain), purchase accounting adjustments, sponsor fees and expenses, and non-cash share based compensation expense.
	Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture of the Company’s operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Certain corporate-level administrative expenses such as payroll and benefits, incentive compensation, travel, marketing, accounting, auditing and legal fees and certain other expenses are kept within its corporate results and not allocated to its business segments. Adjusted EBITDA is used to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company’s internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric. In addition, this measure is used to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.
	As the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its primary measure of segment performance, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) on segment reporting require the Company to include this measure in its discussion of segment operating results. The Company must also reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to operating results presented on a US GAAP basis. The Company’s total segment Adjusted EBITDA differs from consolidated Adjusted EBITDA due to unallocated corporate expenses and other corporate activities.
	Adjusted EBITDA information relating to the Company’s reportable segments is presented below followed by a reconciliation of total segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income before taxes:

Commitments and Contingencies
	16	Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, labor, and employment claims. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the balance sheet date, can be reasonably estimated and is not covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held reserves of $1.1 million for environmental matters at two locations. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend on the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the Company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its business. Based on the facts presently known, the Company does not expect environmental costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Newcomerstown Fire
	17	Newcomerstown Fire
	On November 27, 2011, the Company experienced a fire at an acoustics segment facility in Newcomerstown, Ohio (“Newcomerstown”). No one was injured as a result of the fire. Newcomerstown was comprised of approximately 93,000 square feet in one leased building with an additional 38,000 square foot expansion in process. Newcomerstown employed 103 employees prior to the accident. The fire destroyed the entire leased facility and its contents. Newcomerstown manufactured non-woven acoustical fiber insulation for the automotive industry. During 2012, the Company commenced a lease of a facility in Battle Creek, Michigan as a replacement for the Newcomerstown location and reached pre-accident production levels at this location during 2013. The Company did not incur significant losses of customer business or any long-term negative implications to its acoustics segment as a result of the fire. Additionally, the Company did not experience any material adverse impact to liquidity, cash, or its leverage profile as a result of the fire.
	For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded the following expenses (income) related to the incident:

	Net fire loss (gain)	$	(18,834	)	$	(1,367	)
	The Company has substantial property, casualty, liability, workers compensation and business interruption insurance. The property and business interruption insurance provides coverage of up to $150.0 million per incident with deductibles up to approximately $0.2 million. During 2013, the Company negotiated a final settlement with its insurance carrier.
	Through the date of the settlement mentioned above, the Company has recorded cumulative insurance recoveries in the amount of $61.9 million of which $26.9 million related to property and $35.0 million related to business interruption. The Company has recorded $0.6 million and $1.0 million of liabilities for estimated expenses to be paid as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded a net gain of $12.5 million associated with business interruption expenses and recovery of lost margins for the year ended December 31, 2013, and a gain of $6.4 million from involuntary conversion of property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The fire affected production and shipments from Newcomerstown, creating a business interruption. The Company recorded losses of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and a gain of $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 associated with property and business interruption expenses, net of recovery. The net expenses predominantly relate to material and labor inefficiencies, outsourcing, temporary and permanent facility start-up costs and professional fees. In conjunction with the final settlement, the Company recorded a gain of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 associated with lost margins since the fire.
	The Company made capital expenditures in connection with the replacement of property, plant and equipment of approximately $5.7 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recorded gains from involuntary conversion of property, plant and equipment of $6.4 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Jason is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a “Predecessor” for Jason for periods prior to the Closing Date.  The Company was subsequently re-established as Jason Industries, Inc. and is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes consolidation of Jason subsequent to the Business Combination on June 30, 2014.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired.  See Note 2 for further discussion of the Business Combination.  As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective date of the acquisition, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis and, therefore, are not comparable.
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Throughout the year, the Company reports its results using a fiscal calendar whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length, ending on a Friday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on December 31. For 2014, the Company’s fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 28, June 27, September 26 and December 31. In 2013, the Company’s fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 29, June 28, September 27 and December 31.
Principles of consolidation	The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in partially owned affiliates are accounted for using the equity method when the Company’s interest is between 20% and 50% and the Company does not have a controlling interest, yet maintains significant influence.
Cash and cash equivalents	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, book overdrafts of approximately $6.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, are included in accounts payable within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These amounts are held in accounts in which the Company has no right of offset with other cash balances.
Accounts receivable	The Company evaluates collectability of its receivables and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and historical write-off experience. Credit is extended to customers based upon an evaluation of their financial position. Generally, advance payment is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and consistently have been within management’s expectations.
Inventories	Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are valued at the lower of cost or market and adjusted for the value of inventory that is estimated to be excess, obsolete or otherwise unmarketable. The estimation of excess, obsolete and unmarketable inventory is based on a variety of factors, including material or product age, estimated usage and estimated market demand. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine cost for all of the Company’s inventories.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation generally occurs using the straight-line method over 2 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 7 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and 20 years for land improvements.
	Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the respective leases and the useful life of the related improvement using the straight-line method. The Company uses accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes. Expenditures which substantially increase value or extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records gains and losses on the disposition or retirement of property, plant and equipment based on the net book value and any proceeds received.
Goodwill and other intangible assets	Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the aggregate fair value assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or indicators of potential impairment occur. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing based upon the relative fair value of the asset to each reporting unit.
	Impairment of goodwill is measured according to a two-step approach. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the implied value of the goodwill is estimated as the fair value of the reporting unit less the fair value of all other tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk in the event that goodwill becomes impaired.
	As a result of acquisition accounting for the Business Combination, the carrying value of each of the Company’s reporting units was equal to its fair value on the acquisition date. In performing the annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2014, the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values of all of the Company’s reporting units. In one of the Company’s reporting units, the percentage by which estimated fair value exceeded carrying value was less than 10%. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the periods June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Amortization is recorded for other intangible assets with determinable lives.
Investments in partially-owned affiliates	The Company has investments in joint ventures located in Asia. These joint ventures are part of the Finishing segment and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $6.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and is included in other assets-net in the consolidated balance sheets. Equity income is presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes	The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes on income. Deferred taxes are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss and credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of such net assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Fair value of financial instruments	The carrying amounts within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company assessed the amounts recorded under revolving loans, if any, and long-term debt and determined that such amounts approximated fair value. The Company considers the inputs related to these estimations to be Level 2 fair value measurements.
	Current accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with the guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
	•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	•	Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
	•	Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
	Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
Foreign currency translation	Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose respective functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar, are translated at year-end exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Resultant gains and losses are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Pre-production costs related to long-term supply agreements	The Company’s policy for engineering, research and development, and other design and development costs related to products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements requires such costs to be expensed as incurred. Costs for molds, dies, and other tools used to manufacture products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements are capitalized if the Company has title to the assets or when customer reimbursement is assured.
Long-lived assets	Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based upon an estimate of the related future undiscounted cash flows. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset as compared to its carrying value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment reviews at the lowest level in which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows of other assets and liabilities, which is generally at the facility level.
Revenue recognition	Revenue is recognized from product sales at the time that title and risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment. Customer sales are recorded net of allowances for returns and discounts. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and review of its existing receivables.
Shipping and handling fees and costs	The Company classifies all amounts invoiced to customers related to shipping and handling as sales. Expenses for transportation of products to customers are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
Research and development costs	Research and development costs consist of engineering and development resources and are expensed as incurred.
Advertising costs	Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred
Transaction-related expenses	The Company incurs transaction-related expenses primarily consisting of professional service fees and costs related to business acquisition activities. The Company recognized transaction-related expenses of $2.5 million in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, $27.8 million in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and $1.1 million and $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which primarily includes fees related to the Business Combination and related transactions. The transaction-related expenses were recognized as incurred in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on business combinations.
Use of estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration risks	The Company’s operations are geographically dispersed and it has a diverse customer base. Management believes bad debt losses resulting from default by a single customer, or defaults by customers in any depressed region or business sector, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently issued accounting standards	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The ASU becomes effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2017 fiscal year; early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance changing the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operating and financial results. The new guidance also expanded the disclosure requirements about discontinued operations. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the Company’s future disposal activity.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance designed to clarify the financial statement presentation requirements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance for cumulative translation adjustments upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. These amendments provide guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, these amendments provide guidance on the release of cumulative translation adjustments in partial sales of equity method investments and in step acquisitions. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
