Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
The US fabricated metal parts manufacturing industry includes about 55,000 companies with about $340 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.
For more information on some key components of the fabricated metal parts manufacturing industry, please also see the following industry profiles: Gun Manufacturing; Handtool and Cutlery Manufacture; Machine Shops; Metal Coating, Engraving, & Heat Treating; Metal Valve Manufacture; and Structural Metals Manufacture.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
