Description

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry manufacture metal framed windows and doors, sheet metal work, ornamental or architectural metal products, prefabricated metal buildings, and structural metal and metal plate work products. Major companies include Cornerstone Building Brands, Gibraltar Industries, Valmont Industries, as well as units of integrated metal producers such as Arconic, Nucor, and US Steel (all based in the US); ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg); China Baowu Steel Group (China); JFE Steel and Nippon Steel (both based in Japan); and Tata Steel (India).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Architectural and structural metals manufacturers face competition not only from peers within the industry, but also from makers of competing materials, chiefly concrete and wood. Key competitive differentiators include establishing a global presence to take advantage of strong construction spending growth in emerging markets and offering value-added design services. Companies are also tweaking their marketing messaging to better showcase steel's advantages in civil, commercial, and residential construction applications.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Major products of architectural and structural metals manufacturers include fabricated structural iron, steel and aluminum, which accounts for about 30% of the industry's revenue. Other products include aluminum and other sheet metal work (about 5%), weldments and fabricated steel plate (about 5%) and industrial and commercial prefabricated metals (about 5%).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
