Metal Fabrication Industry Stocks($HON, $GFF, $MMM...) Flourishes with an Average Gain of 5.4% Over the Last Week
Metal fabrication, at its core, focuses on value-added processes that metamorphose raw materials into structured metal entities such as machines and parts. The processes of cutting, bending, and assembling are pivotal to this transformation. A common practice in this industry is for fabrication shops to bid on projects and, upon securing a contract, proceed with the manufacturing process. The integration of robotics and automation into this industry is a testament to the evolving nature of metal fabrication, primarily aimed at bridging the skills gap. Giants of the industry include RBC Bearings Incorporated, Timken Company, and Valmont Industries, Inc.
