Metal Forgings & Stampings

Metal Forgings & Stampings

Metal Forgings & Stampings (SIC 3460) covers the production of forged and stamped metal components—from precision aerospace brackets and automotive suspension parts to industrial fasteners, valves, and electrical housings—sold to OEMs in transportation, defense, energy, construction, and heavy machinery. Manufacturers rely on close-tolerance tooling, heat treatment, and surface finishing to deliver high-strength, repeatable parts at scale. Key risks include raw material price volatility for steel and aluminum, energy costs, OSHA and EPA compliance on workplace safety and emissions, and exposure to trade policy shifts or tariffs that affect imported feedstock and export demand. In 2024-2025 the sector is shaped by reshoring and nearshoring to bolster supply resilience, EV-driven demand for lightweight alloys, automation and robotics to offset skilled labor gaps, and digital twins plus inline quality analytics to reduce scrap and downtime; hybrid additive/forging workflows are emerging for complex geometries.
