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.

But concentration can be high in industry segments such as boiler, cutlery, metal can, and spring manufacturing.
