Establishments in this class manufacture small metal, plastic, or composite hardware components — including screws, bolts, rivets, buttons, sewing needles, pins, and buckles — typically through stamping, forming, casting, or machining processes. Finished goods are generally sold in bulk to distributors, OEM assemblers, garment manufacturers, or industrial customers rather than directly to end consumers.
