Transform Milwaukee 6-1 Metal Product Manufacturing
Section 6 – Metal Manufacturing Potential in Milwaukee’s
Industrial Corridor The following analysis of metal product manufacturing potential in Milwaukee’s Industrial Corridor considers
industry trends, affiliated industries, occupational structures, competing regions and growth projections. For
purposes of this analysis, metal product manufacturing is comprised of two sub-sectors: primary metal
products (NAICS 331) and fabricated metal products (NAICS 332). The profile draws on industry information
compiled by UW-Extension’s Center for Community and Economic Development from IBISWorld Inc., IMPLAN,
the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and other sources. Note that some of the
information included in this analysis is based on national industry trends that may be less applicable to the
retention, recruitment or expansion of local metal manufacturing firms. While some caution should be used
when interpreting this information, these broader trends coupled with Milwaukee-specific data provide
valuable insight into the potential direction of the industry. To provide local and regional perspectives, figures
are included for both Milwaukee County and the six counties in the Balance of the M7 Region.
Industry Overview
In 2011, the domestic primary metal manufacturing industry accounted for 5,700 establishments with total
revenues of approximately $275 billion. Industries in primary metal manufacturing smelt and/or refine ferrous
and nonferrous metals from ore, pig or scrap, using electrometallurgical and other process metallurgical
techniques. Establishments also manufacture metal alloys and superalloys by introducing other chemical
elements to pure metals. The output of smelting and refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling, drawing,
and extruding operations to make sheet, strip, bar, rod, or wire, and in molten form to make castings and
other basic metal products. 1 According to IBISWorld Inc., the domestic industry has low to moderate levels of
concentration. Specific categories within the primary metal manufacturing industry include:
Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (NAICS 3311) – Involves processes such as direct
reduction of iron ore; manufacturing pig iron, converting pig iron into steel; making steel and
manufacturing shapes; and manufacturing electrometallurgical ferroalloys;
Steel Product Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (NAICS 3312) – Includes manufacturing iron and steel
tube and pipe, drawing steel wire, and rolling or drawing shapes from purchased iron or steel;
Alumina and Aluminum Production and Processing (NAICS 3313) - These establishments are engaged in
processes such as refining alumina; making aluminum from alumina; recovering aluminum from scrap;
alloying purchased aluminum; and producing aluminum primary forms (e.g. bar, foil, pipe, plate, rods, etc.);
Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Production and Processing (NAICS 3314) – Involves smelting ores into
nonferrous metals; primary refining of nonferrous metals; producing alloys; and rolling, drawing, or
extruding shapes, (e.g., bar, plate, sheet, strip, tube, wire);
Foundries (NAICS 3315) – Foundries make castings from purchased metals or in integrated secondary
smelting and casting facilities. Processes (e.g. tapping, threading, milling, or machining to tight tolerances)
that transform castings into finished products are classified elsewhere based on the product being made.

Transform Milwaukee 6-2 Metal Product Manufacturing
The domestic fabricated metal product manufacturing industry included about 58,000 establishments in 2011,
with $358 billion in combined annual revenue.2 With this large number of establishments, it is not surprising
that IBISWorld Inc. reports a low level of industry concentration in fabricated metal product manufacturing.
Important fabricated metal processes include forging, stamping, bending, forming, and machining used to
shape individual pieces of metal. Other processes involve the joining of separate parts through welding and
assembly. Establishments in this sub-sector may use one or a combination of these processes. However, the
special manufacturing processes involved require most companies to make a limited range of products.
Categories of fabricated metal product manufacturing include:
Forging and Stamping (NAICS 3321) – Includes manufacturing of forgings from purchased metals; custom
roll forming products; metal stamped and spun products; and powder metallurgy products. Establishments
further manufacturing (e.g., machining, assembling) a specific product are classified in the industry of the
finished product;
Cutlery and Handtool Manufacturing (NAICS 3322) – Production of metal kitchen cookware, utensils, metal
cutlery and flatware, saw blades, and non-powered hand or edge tools;
Architectural and Structural Metals Manufacturing (NAICS 3323) – These establishments manufacture
prefabricated metal buildings; panels and sections; structural metal products; metal plate work products;
metal framed windows and metal doors; sheet metal work; and ornamental/architectural metal products;
Boiler, Tank, and Shipping Container Manufacturing (NAICS 3324) – Involves the production of power
boilers and heat exchangers; tanks, vessels, and other containers; and light gauge metal containers;
Hardware Manufacturing (NAICS 3325) - Manufacturing of metal hardware, such as metal hinges, metal
handles, keys, and locks (except coin-operated, time locks);
Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing (NAICS 3326) – Production of steel springs and fabricated wire
products from metal stock or wire drawn elsewhere;
Machine Shops; Turned Product; and Screw, Nut, and Bolt Manufacturing (NAICS 3327) – Machine shops
are engaged in machining metal and plastic parts and parts of other composite materials on a job or order
basis. They are typically low volume and use tools such as lathes/CNC machines; automatic screw
machines; and machines for boring, grinding, and milling. In comparison, turned product and screw, nut
and bolt manufacturing includes machining precision turned products or manufacturing metal bolts, nuts,
screws, rivets, and other industrial fasteners;
Coating, Engraving, Heat Treating, and Allied Activities (NAICS 3328) - Includes metal and metal product
heat treating; enameling, lacquering, and varnishing; hot dip galvanizing; engraving, chasing, or etching;
powder coating metals; and electroplating, plating, anodizing and coloring;
Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (NAICS 3329) – Involves manufacturing of metal valves,
plumbing fixtures, ball bearings, ammunition, small arms and various products not elsewhere classified.

Transform Milwaukee 6-3 Metal Product Manufacturing
Largely driven by the needs of the construction industry and other manufacturing sub-sectors, demand for
both primary metals and fabricated metal products are tied to macro-economic growth trends. As noted by
IBISWorld Inc., primary metal product manufacturers largely compete on the basis of price and quality of the
products. Operational flexibility and the ability to integrate design services also help some firms to
differentiate themselves in a competitive industry. Within the fabricated metal products industry, success
often depends on reputation, quality, technical expertise, access to markets and the availability of a skilled
labor force.
In Milwaukee County, including the Industrial Corridor, the primary metal product manufacturing industry
employs almost 1,700 workers and is largely comprised of foundries, with several smaller establishments
engaged in steel product manufacturing and non-ferrous metal product production (Table 6.1). In contrast,
the fabricated metal products industry consists of a diversity of categories employing 4,200 workers (Table
6.2). In terms of total establishments, machine shops and coating, engraving, heat treating and allied products
comprise a large share of firms. A majority of firms in the county are small employers, classified as either
Stage 1 (1 to 9 employees) or Stage 2 companies (10 to 99 employees). These firms might provide one
opportunity for identifying appropriate candidates to participate in the pilot Economic Gardening® program
discussed in Section 4 of this report.

Age Structure
If metal manufacturing industries grow in Milwaukee’s Industrial Corridor and the greater M7 Region, additional
workers will likely be needed. However, the future growth of the industry does not provide any perspective on the
number of replacement workers that may be needed due to retirements (or other types of worker turnover).
Examining the current age structure of workers in primary and fabricated metal product manufacturing provides
some perspectives into the number of workers who may be approaching retirement age over the coming years. As
local companies draw employees from a regional labor market (see Section 3), it is important to examine ages both
within Milwaukee County and in the Balance of the M7 Region.
While retirement ages will vary, both primary metal manufacturing and fabricated metal product manufacturing are
facing a potentially large share of workers exiting the industry over the next decade. In Milwaukee County, 24.5%
of the workers in primary metal products are age 55 or over, while 27.5% of employees in fabricated metal
products are within this age cohort (Chart 6.7 and Chart 6.8). Within the Balance of the M7 Region, 22.6% and
22.7% of workers in primary metal manufacturing and fabricated metal products respectively are perhaps
approaching retirement age in the next ten years. Interestingly, a greater share of workers age 55 and over is found
in Milwaukee County despite its younger age distribution relative to the M7 Region. Eventually, the large number
of younger residents in the Transform Milwaukee Study Area may provide a primary opportunity for filling future
positions in these industries.

Transform Milwaukee 6-20 Metal Product Manufacturing
Summary
Despite employment declines over the past few decades, the primary and fabricated metal manufacturing
industries remain highly concentrated in Milwaukee’s Industrial Corridor and the M7 Region. Employment has
rebounded somewhat over the last year and national forecasts suggest some levels of future growth over the next
five years, particularly within categories of fabricated metal manufacturing. Some of this growth will depend on
factors uncontrollable by local firms, including the direction of the national economy and international competition.
Other conditions present both opportunities and challenges that potentially could be influenced by local initiatives.
Specific examples include:
Workforce Development – Both primary and fabricated metal product manufacturing are dominated by middle-
skill occupations. As the industries have become more technical and knowledge-intensive, training
requirements for many occupations appear to be somewhat more rigorous and time-intensive than a number
of other manufacturing industries. Consequently, potential workers without experience living in the Transform
Milwaukee Study Area (and in other areas) will need formal training programs that require partnerships among
local firms and workforce intermediaries. Those workers without basic levels of educational attainment will
likely need this training in concert with adult basic education;
Tapping Youth in the Transform Milwaukee Study Area – Primary and fabricated metal product manufacturing
establishments in the region face a notable share of workers approaching retirement age. Depending on
factors such as productivity levels and technological advancements, local firms may need to replace as much as
25% of their labor force in the coming decade. The Transform Milwaukee Study Area is one of the few areas in
the region with an overly youthful population that could meet these potential needs;
Expanding Local Markets for Primary and Fabricated Metal Products – Primary and fabricated metal
manufacturing firms in the Industrial Corridor have the potential to access large and diverse markets in the
Milwaukee-Chicago region. In particular, the Corridor is located within 100 miles of a nationally significant
share of potential customers in sectors such as construction, machinery manufacturing, food manufacturing
and transportation equipment manufacturing. The industry will also be a key stakeholder in any conversations
related to the defense cluster detailed in Section 5;
Working to Identify and Address Potential Gaps and Disconnects in Local Supply Chains – A variety of potential
gaps and disconnects exist in local supply chains for primary and fabricated metal products. Ultimately, the
industry will need to identify its own needs, but information available in this profile (as well as other data that
could be compiled), provides a starting point for understanding products and services needed by local firms;
Providing Access to Capital and Technical Assistance - Access to capital for upgrading in new technologies or
facilities might be one area of need, particularly related to those opportunities for improving energy efficiency.
Providing business intelligence and market analysis services for second-stage firms in the industry may also
provide prospects for supporting the local industry;
Leveraging Other Potential Assets - The Industrial Corridor provides multi-modal transportation opportunities
that may be advantageous to those establishments needing rail, truck and/or water transportation. Local
average wages may also provide some level of comparative advantage.
