BV Guides and Databases


BVMarketData
Private Company Sales Transaction Databases
https://www.bvresources.com/
Free "Visitor Search" allows users to search the DealStats, BIZCOMPS, and FactSet/BVR databases for private company sales transaction data by SIC or NAICS Code using the following codes:
  SIC Code 332 and 336 - Iron And Steel and Nonferrous Foundries
  NAICS Code 33151 - Ferrous Metal Foundries
Types of establishments included in these codes
Gray iron foundries - establishments that produce cast iron products using a specific type of iron known as gray iron. Gray iron is produced by melting iron and adding carbon and silicon to create a castable material that is used for products for where the stiffness of the product is more important than its tensile strength.
Ductile iron foundries - establishments that produce cast iron products using a type of iron known as ductile iron. Ductile iron is created by adding magnesium to molten iron, which causes the carbon in the iron to form spherical nodules rather than flakes, resulting in a stronger and more ductile material.
Steel investment foundries - establishments that manufacture steel products using the lost wax casting process. This process involves creating a wax pattern for the desired product, coating it in a ceramic material, and then melting the wax to leave a mold. Molten steel is then poured into the mold to create the final product.
Steel foundries (except investment) - establishments that are engaged in the production of steel products using various casting methods other than lost wax casting process, such as sand casting, centrifugal casting, continuous casting, and die casting. These products can range from small components to large structural elements.
Stainless steel production - establishments that cast stainless steel products using various casting methods, such as sand casting and investment casting. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, at least 10.5 percent chromium, and other metals and nonmetals that give it its characteristic resistance to corrosion and staining.
Nonferrous metal foundries (except die-casting) - establishments that cast products using nonferrous metals (e.g., copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, and zinc) using various casting methods other than die-casting, such as sand casting, investment casting, and centrifugal casting, to produce a wide variety of metal parts and components.
Sample reports with detailed sales transaction data and valuation multiples are available free online.
