According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Statistics of U.S. Businesses, a combined total of 7,607 establishments operated in this category for part or all of 2004—418 for custom roll forming, 3,574 for fabricated structural metal manufacturing, 1,318 for metal window and door manufacturing, and 2,297 for ornamental and architectural metal work manufacturing. The Annual Survey of Manufactures reported that overall shipments for the industry were valued at about $40.2 billion in 2004—$5.6 billion for custom roll forming, $18.3 billion for fabricated structural metal manufacturing, $10.9 billion for metal window and door manufacturing, and $5.4 billion for ornamental and architectural metal work manufacturing. This represents steady growth during the 2000s, up 7.7 percent from 2002 shipments of $37.1 billion.
Additionally, among 378,616 total employees, the industry employed 247,362 production workers in 2004. These workers put in more than 558 million hours to earn wages of more than $8.6 billion. These figures also include data on sheet metal work manufacturing, prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing, and plate work manufacturing.
In 2005, Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI) led the industry with sales of $3.5 billion on the work of 9,300 employees. Las Vegas-based Tang Industries Inc.—a holding company including several metal-related subsidiaries—followed with 2005 sales of $1.5 billion and 3,200 employees. Johnstown Holdings Inc., located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, rounds out the top three industry leaders with 2005 sales of $932 million.
Closely related to the construction and automobile industries, structural metal work manufacturers were heavily affected by the recession of the late 1980s and early 1990s, following a $1 billion boom in shipments between 1986 and 1988. After dropping sharply in the early 1990s, shipment values recovered and leveled out in 1993.
