Metal Processing Industry

The metal industry is generally termed a heavy industry as it places a heavy burden on the means of production and consumes large amounts of energy. Included are all production stages in the manufacture of metal components by methods such as cold drawing, casting and forging. Germany is home to several internationally renowned companies in the metal industry.
