Iron Foundries

Overview

This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in pouring molten pig iron or iron alloys into molds to manufacture castings, (e.g., cast iron man-hole covers, cast iron pipe, cast iron skillets). Establishments in this industry purchase iron made in other establishments.

The immediate parent of national industry 331511 is international industry 33151: Ferrous Metal Foundries
