SIC 3356 Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding of Nonferrous Metals, Except Copper and Aluminum
SIC 3356
This classification covers establishments primarily engaged in rolling, drawing, and extruding nonferrous metals other than copper and aluminum. The products of this industry are in the form of basic shapes, such as plate, sheet, strip, bar, and tubing. Excluded from this classification are establishments primarily engaged in recovering nonferrous metals and alloys from scrap or dross. Such establishments are classified in SIC 3341: Secondary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals. Those establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing gold, silver, tin, and other foils, except aluminum, are classified in SIC 3497: Metal Foil and Leaf; and those establishments manufacturing aluminum foil are classified in SIC 3353: Aluminum Sheet, Plate, and Foil.

Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding
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 billion in 1999 and $4.01 billion in 1997.
Nonferrous metals are utilized by nearly every manufacturing industry in the United States and abroad, their existence critical to the production of a wide variety of products from tin cans to semiconductors. The metals used by manufacturers to produce their products are purchased from three types of metal manufacturers, depending on the particular needs of the buyer: primary metal manufacturers, secondary metal manufacturers, and semi-fabricated metal manufacturers, each of which share an interdependent relationship with the other. Primary manufacturers produce metal by subjecting particular extracted ores to various metallurgical processes, thereby creating metal in its most basic form. Secondary manufacturers smelt, refine, and sometimes blend metal recovered from the shaping and trimming of primary metal during production and fabrication, or from recycled metal. The metal produced by these two types of manufacturers leaves the production site in either large bar or block form known as ingot. As ingot, the metal exists in a convenient and efficient state for storage or shipping, ready for delivery to manufacturers requiring metal cast in this form, or ready to be shipped to a facility equipped to further shape or extrude the metal.
These latter facilities, the semi-fabricated metal manufacturing establishments classified in this industry, take metal in its basic form, then...
