336370

Analysis

NAICS 336370 is the 2022 national industry for motor vehicle metal stamping, part of 33637 (Motor Vehicle Metal Stamping). Census lists 8 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 728 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 106,098 people at an average annual payroll of $62,265 per employee (38th percentile of national industries). 8% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include job stampings, automotive, metal, manufacturing, metal motor vehicle body parts stamping, moldings and trim, motor vehicle, stamping and motor vehicle metal bumper stampings, among 8 in all.

Its goods appear in 9 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 8708 (parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, manufacturing stampings (except motor vehicle) are classified in 332119 (Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping (except Automotive)) instead.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 4% and employment fell 2%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
