| ASSET IMPAIRMENTS [Abstract] | |
| Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block] | ASSET IMPAIRMENTS During the six months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to a reduction in the carrying value of one of the Company’s facilities in Oyonnax, France, which was held for sale. The impairment charges were determined based on the estimated sales value of the facility less the estimated costs to sell utilizing information provided by a third-party real estate valuation source using the market approach. In December 2013, the Company sold its facility in Verolanuova, Italy to a third-party for $1.5 million, which approximated its carrying value. |
