3. European Manufacturing Production – Orgalime 28%
Mechanical, electrical, electronic, metalworking & metal industries employ some 10.3 million people in the EU and in 2012 accounted for some €1,840 billion of annual output. The industry not only represents some 28% of the output of manufactured products but also a third of the manufactured exports of the European Union.
Manufacturing of fabricated metal products, which is represented by Orgalime, accounts for 7% of the total value of manufacturing in the EU. The manufacturing of basic metals accounts for 5% of the EU. Orgalime also represents mechanical, electric and electronic engineering, which are important users of metals.

7. Fabricated metal products
The so-called ‘invisible’ sector
Mainly divided into four sub-sectors:
Metal processing (casting, forging, coating metals)
Construction metalwork, usually closely linked to the building industry
Boilers, metal containers and packaging
Metal products
Fundamental link in the EU’s manufacturing supply chain
Sectors activities:
Steel working fabrication for the civil engineering industry
Vessels construction, containers and steam-generating boilers for the
the processing industries
Production of metal articles such as cutlery, wire, springs, locks…
90% of our metalworking industries are SMEs, distributed throughout the territory of the EU

8. Invisible but…
They represent 388,000 companies in the EU 27 MS in 2010 (largely SMEs)
They employ 3.6 million people, representing 11,9% of the total manufacturing workforce, being the 2nd largest after food product manufacturing
(vs. Eurofer: 330,000 people employed*).  
They generate 149 billion euros of value added
Germany had the highest value added in the fabricated metal sector, followed by Italy, France and the United Kingdom

11. What are we asking for?
EU needs free and fair trade on steel, as well as aluminium, copper etc
Transparency
Fair treatment of the interests of steel users vs. steel producers
Open Markets
Fair burden sharing across the supply chain
Only use trade defence instruments, if real damage to an industry – do not use them as a political tool
Keep all these facts in mind when doing TDI reforms or discussing the granting of MES to China
Community interest a must
