Nonferrous Foundries (Castings)

In SIC 3360, nonferrous foundries produce aluminum, magnesium, copper- and zinc-based castings, delivering tooling design, rapid prototyping, heat treatment, machining, and finishing to OEMs in aerospace, automotive/EV platforms, industrial equipment, defense, electronics, and medical devices. 2024-2025 demand is driven by lightweighting goals, EV motor housings, thermal management parts, and reshoring that favors shorter supply chains, while additive manufacturing, simulation-led solidification modeling, closed-loop scrap recycling, and sensor-driven quality control reshape plant investments. Operators navigate volatile metal and energy prices, strict EPA air-emissions and waste rules, OSHA safety mandates, export controls, and tariff swings that pressure margins and contracting. Success hinges on metallurgical expertise, on-time delivery, and certifications (e.g., AS9100/IATF) that reassure customers with costly downtime risks. Consolidation among mid-sized foundries continues as buyers seek scale and automation.
