Porcelain Electrical Supply Manufacturing
Unlike other pottery product industries, the porcelain electrical supplies industry relies on high technology. Only the base material, clay, makes it similar to other pottery products. The products manufactured in this industry are ideal insulators for electrical currents because of the way they dissipate heat. The United States has the technological edge in most electronic ceramic components used in these high performance markets.
The value of product shipments in this industry rose steadily in the late 1980s, from $759 million in 1987 to $936 million in 1990. Due in part to the decrease in U.S. military spending, the value of product shipments dropped in the early 1990s, to $927 million in 1991. The industry experienced rapid growth in the mid-1990s, however, as the value of product shipments reached $1.4 billion in 1995, dropping somewhat to nearly $1.2 billion in 1997. Porcelain electrical supply shipments climbed back to $1.3 billion in 2000, but then declined to $1.1 billion in 2001. The worldwide advanced ceramics market was estimated to be worth between $10 and $11 billion in 2003, according to the U.S. Advanced Ceramics Association, with U.S. companies dominating the industry overall.
In 2000 there were 10,093 people working in the porcelain electrical supplies industry, 7,961 of whom were production workers. The wages for production workers totaled $13.08 per hour in 2000, in line with the national average for production workers in manufacturing. Professional staff in the industry includes inspectors, metrology and process workers, and application engineers.
The Adolph Coors Company, whose primary business is malt beverages, was also making technical ceramics at a separate facility until late 1992, when the brewery became a separate company. Coors Ceramics Company, which was one of the largest U.S.-owned manufacturers of technical ceramics, became a part of the holding company called ACX Technologies. Although company outputs were primarily absorbed by Adolph Coors Company, sales for ACX fell more than 20 percent, from $910 million in 1995 to $712 million in 1996. Coors Ceramics...
