The U.S. Census Bureau recorded this product line in 4 US manufacturing industries in the 2022 Economic Census, as the most specific line those industries reported. At least 120 establishments reported producing it; the count for 1 of those industries was withheld.
That is a count of establishments by industry. It says how many establishments in each industry reported this product line; the Economic Census publishes these figures as industry totals and never as a list of plants. The largest share Census published for any one industry is 3.4% of that industry’s establishments.
Withheld means Census suppressed the figure because publishing it would disclose an individual establishment. The line itself is never suppressed — only the numbers on it.
Facilities in those industries
FactoryRegistry lists 14,328 facilities whose primary industry classification is one of the 4 industries above. This is a list by industry, not a list of makers: Census reports that establishments in these industries produced flat metal strapping, in the shares shown above, and does not say which establishments. Where a plant’s own website or a federal registry names what that plant makes, it appears on the plant’s own page with the source named.
Source for the product line, the establishment counts and the shares: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 Economic Census (ECNNAPCSIND2022). Federal source data is public domain. Facility records are compiled separately by FactoryRegistry and carry their own sources.
