Miscellaneous Primary Metal Products

Miscellaneous Primary Metal Products (SIC 3390) covers specialized castings, forgings, powder metal parts, coin blanks, electrodes, and custom extrusions that fill niche needs beyond standard steel mills, serving OEMs in automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, defense, construction, and energy equipment. Producers blend metallurgical design, melting, forming, heat treatment, and finishing services, often offering short-run or high-precision batches. Typical risks include volatile scrap and energy costs, tariffs and trade remedies, tight labor markets for skilled operators, workplace safety obligations under OSHA, and environmental compliance for emissions, water discharge, and waste under EPA and state rules. 2024-2025 trends include reshoring and dual sourcing to de-risk supply chains, rising demand for lightweight and corrosion-resistant alloys for EVs and renewables, additive manufacturing feedstock growth, automation for throughput and traceability, and expanding recycled content to meet customer ESG targets.
