    Overview

    The US fabricated metal product manufacturing industry includes about 55,000 companies with about $295 billion in combined annual revenue. Major companies in specialty segments include Ball Corporation, Flowserve, Mueller Industries, Snap-On, and The Timken Company. Because of the special manufacturing processes involved for individual parts, most companies make a limited range of products. The industry as a whole is fragmented: the largest 50 companies account for about 20 percent of revenue. But concentration can be high in industry segments such as boiler, cutlery, metal can, and spring manufacturing.

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand is driven by construction spending and agricultural spending on fertilizers. Large companies have some economies of scale in purchasing and administrative systems, and have the production volume to supply large construction projects, such as new highways. Small companies typically own just one mine and compete in a local market based on superior customer service. Imports of nonmetallic minerals account for about 5 percent of the US market. Major sources of imports include Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq, and Mexico. US exports, mainly to Canada, Japan, China, Mexico, and Germany, represent about 5 percent of domestic production.
