Industry Snapshot

The industry shipped $6.03 billion worth of product in 2000, down from the $7.05 billion shipped in 1997. In the late 1990s approximately 184 establishments derived the bulk of their revenue from the rolling, drawing, or extrusion of nonferrous metals other than aluminum and copper. More than half of the manufacturing establishments operating in this industrial sector employed 20 people or more, while the typical establishment employed 90 workers, slightly more than twice the size of the average manufacturing establishment involved in all other manufacturing industries.

Geographically, semi-fabricated metal manufacturing establishments were concentrated primarily in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan. The mid-Atlantic states, the Great Lakes region, and New England contained the greatest number of establishments, though production was also distributed throughout the South and West.

As with the other branches of the metal industry, the operating costs in the semi-fabricated metal industry are significantly higher than the costs incurred by the average manufacturing establishment. The cost of materials for production continued to decline from highs established in the early 1980s. In 2000 material costs reached $3.3 billion, down from $3.6...
