Description of Industries and Summary of Findings INDUSTRY 3351, COPPER ROLLING AND DRAWING This industry is made up of establishments primarily engaged in rolling, drawing, and extruding copper, brass, bronze, and other copper base alloy basic shapes, such as plate, sheet, strip, bar, and tubing. Establishments engaged in recovering copper and its alloys from scrap or dross are classified in industry 3341. The 1992 definition of this industry is the same as that used in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The SIC number and title also are the same. In the 1992 Census of Manufactures, Industry 3351, Copper Rolling and Drawing, had employment of 18.9 thousand. The employment figure was 16 percent below the 22.6 thousand reported in 1987. The leading States in employment in 1992 were Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut, accounting for approximately 45 percent of the industry's employment. These same States were the leaders in 1987. The total value of shipments for establishments classified in this industry was $6.0 billion. Establishments in virtually all industries ship secondary products as well as products primary to the industry in which they are classified and have some miscellaneous receipts, such as resales and contract receipts. Industry 3351 shipped $5.4 billion of products considered primary to the industry, $204.1 million of secondary products, and had $376.9 million of miscellaneous receipts, resales, and contract work. Thus, the ratio of primary products to the total of both secondary and primary products shipped by establishments in this industry was 96 percent (specialization ratio). In 1987, the specialization ratio was 94 percent. Establishments in this industry also accounted for 98 percent of products considered primary to the industry no matter where they were actually produced (coverage ratio). In 1987, the coverage ratio also was 98 percent. The products primary to industry 3351, no matter in what industry they were produced, appear in file MC92F6A and aggregate to $5.5 billion.
