Description of Industries and Summary of Findings INDUSTRY 3691, STORAGE BATTERIES This industry is made up of establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing storage batteries. 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 3691, Storage Batteries, had employment of 21.1 thousand. The employment figure was 13 percent below the 24.2 thousand reported in 1987. Compared with 1991, employment was unchanged. The 1991 data are based on the Census Bureau's annual survey of manufactures (ASM), which is a sample survey conducted each year between censuses. The leading States in employment in 1992 were Pennsylvania, California, Florida, and Georgia. This represents a shift from 1987 when Pennsylvania, California, Indiana, and Florida were the leading States. The total value of shipments for establishments classified in this industry was $3.4 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 3691 shipped $3.3 billion of storage batteries considered primary to the industry, $48.5 million of secondary products, and had $59.5 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 99 percent (specialization ratio). In 1987, the specialization ratio was 97 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 was 99 percent. The products primary to industry 3691, no matter in what industry they were produced, appear in file MC92F6A and aggregate to $3.4 billion. For further explanation of specialization and coverage ratios, see file MC92F5B and the appendixes. The total cost of materials, services, and fuels and energy used by establishments classified in the storage batteries industry amounted to $1.6 billion. Data on specific materials consumed appear in file MC92F7. Single-establishment companies in this industry with less than 20 employees were excluded from the mail portion of the census.
