(mechanical) engineering industry
Explanation:
The Swedish reference shows how it is used -- includes Volvo, Scania -- and ABB (including robotics) are included. These are more than metalworking.

I've used 'engineering' simply and have seen and used 'mechanical engineering' have also seen manufacturing engineering'

Explanation:
It's generalised I think because there are all sorts of engineering processes involving metal (e.g. cutting, soldering, panel beating). I stand to be corrected by anyone who may have worked in such an industry, but this is what I've seen.

Asker: Thanks! That should be good. I was wondering if there was some term that I was just not finding but it looks like it is rather broad. Many thanks for your answer.
