Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Production and Processing

Establishments in the Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Production and Processing industry primarily engage in smelting, refining, rolling, drawing, extruding, and alloying nonferrous metals other than aluminum. The industry produces a variety of goods, including copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and precious metals, in forms such as ingots, sheets, bars, and wires. This industry is distinguished from others by its focus on nonferrous metals, excluding aluminum, and its processes that transform raw materials into semi-finished or finished metal products.
