DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: Parts I, II and IV of this report
incorporate by reference certain information from the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
PART I
ITEM_1_-_BUSINESS
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the "Corporation") was incorporated in
Pennsylvania in 1929. The Corporation currently operates four businesses which
manufacture engineered equipment: Buffalo Pumps, Inc. and Aerofin Corporation,
acquired in 1981, headquartered in North Tonawanda, New York and Lynchburg,
Virginia, respectively, and Union Electric Steel Corporation and New Castle
Industries, Inc., acquired in 1984, headquartered in Carnegie and New Castle,
Pennsylvania, respectively.
In 1993, the stock of Buffalo Forge Company, including its Canadian and
Mexican subsidiaries, was sold. Management believes that this sale
strengthened the Corporation's financial position against economic
uncertainties and that the Corporation can now concentrate on those companies
that are better positioned to deal with both domestic and international
business opportunities.
Through various wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Corporation also acquires
and sells investments in other companies. In 1993, Amersham International plc
acquired United States Biochemical Corporation, a small private company in
which the Corporation owned a 20% interest. As a result of that transaction,
the Corporation received cash and stock of Amersham. Since January 1, 1993 the
Corporation has sold a portion of its investment in Northwestern Steel and Wire
Company, a public company.
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The sales and operating profit of the Corporation's only segment and the
identifiable assets attributable to it for the three years ended December 31,
1993 are set forth in Note 16 (Business Segment Information) on p. 15 of the
accompanying Annual Report which is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Corporation produces finned tube heat exchange coils and pumps for the
construction, electric utility, chemical processing and marine defense
industries, machine parts for the plastics industry and forged hardened steel
rolls for producers of cold rolled steel, aluminum and other metals. These
products are heavily dependent on engineering, principally custom designed and
are sold to sophisticated commercial and industrial users in the United States
and, to a lesser extent, in foreign countries.
No one customer's purchases were material to the Corporation. Contracts
that may be subject to renegotiation or termination are not material to the
Corporation. The Corporation's business is not seasonal but is subject to the
cyclical nature of the industries and markets served. For additional
information on the products produced and financial information about the
business, see pp. 2 through 4 and Note 16 on p. 15 of the accompanying Annual
Report which are incorporated herein by reference.
Raw_Materials
Raw materials are generally available from many sources and the Corporation
is not dependent upon any single supplier for any raw material. Certain of the
raw materials used by the Corporation have historically been subject to
variations in price. The Corporation generally does not purchase or arrange
for the purchase of raw materials significantly in advance of the time it
requires them.
Patents
While the Corporation holds some patents, trademarks and licenses, in the
opinion of management they are not material to the Corporation's business other
than in protecting the goodwill associated with the names under which its
products are sold.
Working_Capital
The Corporation maintains levels of inventory, which generally reflect its
normal requirements and are believed to reflect the practices of its
industries. Production is generally to custom order and requires inventory
levels of raw materials or semi-finished products with only a limited level of
finished products.
Backlog
The backlog of orders at December 31, 1993 was approximately $56,300,000
compared to a backlog for continuing operations of $64,700,000 at year end
1992. Most of those orders are expected to be filled in 1994.
Competition
The Corporation faces considerable competition from a large number of
companies. The Corporation believes, however, that it is a significant factor
in each of the principal markets which it serves.
Buffalo Pumps, Inc. produces a line of centrifugal pumps and competes with
many other producers. Competition is primarily based on quality, service,
price and delivery. Aerofin Corporation produces finned tube heat exchange
coils and competes in commercial and industrial markets with a broad product
line. There are several major competitors in these markets. Competition is
based on quality, service and price.
Union Electric Steel Corporation is considered the largest producer of
forged hardened steel rolls in the United States. In addition to several
domestic competitors, European and Japanese manufacturers also compete in both
the domestic and foreign markets. Quality, performance, service and price are
the most important factors in the industry. New Castle Industries primarily
produces machine parts for use in the plastics industry and competes with a
number of small regional companies.
Research_and_Development
The Corporation operates in mature industries and does not expend material
amounts for research and development. The activities that are undertaken are
primarily designed to improve existing products, reduce costs and adapt
products to specific customer requirements.
Environmental_Protection_Compliance_Costs
Expenditures for environmental control matters were not material in 1993
and such expenditures in 1994 are not expected to be material. However, with
increasing regulatory activity, such expenditures may increase.
Employees
In December, 1993, the Corporation had 924 active employees, of whom 333
were sales, executive, administrative, engineering and clerical personnel. All
production and craft employees are covered by negotiated labor agreements with
various unions. Two bargaining agreements covering 212 production employees
will expire in the remainder of 1994. A contract with the International Union
of Electronic Workers (IUE), which represents 131 hourly employees at Aerofin's
plant in Lynchburg, Virginia, expired on March 12, 1994 and a work stoppage is
currently in progress.
(d)FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT
SALES
The Corporation's only foreign operation is a manufacturing plant located
in Belgium that principally serves the European markets. For financial
information relating to foreign and domestic operations see Note 16 (Business
Segment Information) on p. 15 of the accompanying Annual Report which is
incorporated herein by reference.

holidays, vacation, inventory taking, etc. The number of work shifts were
also taken into consideration.
ITEM_3_-_LEGAL_PROCEEDINGS
The Corporation has been involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental
to its business. In the opinion of management, the Corporation has meritorious
defenses in those cases and believes that, in the aggregate, any liability will
not have a material effect on the financial position of the Corporation.
Three lawsuits were commenced in May, 1991 against the Corporation and its
subsidiary, Vulcan, Inc. ("Vulcan"), arising out of the filing of a petition
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in October, 1990 by
Valley-Vulcan Mold Company (the "Partnership"), a 50/50 partnership formed in
September, 1987 between Vulcan and Valley Mould Corporation, a subsidiary of
Microdot, Inc. Microdot and Valley are unrelated to the Corporation and are
also defendants in the lawsuits. The Partnership acquired the ingot mold
businesses of each of the partners. On June 10, 1993, Microdot also filed a
Petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Dillon,_et_al_v._Ampco-Pittsburgh_Corporation,_Vulcan,_Inc.,_Microdot,_Inc.
and_Valley_Mould_Corporation. This purported class action was brought in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio by
certain retired and former salaried employees who had worked at plants
formerly operated by Microdot and, as to certain plaintiffs, who continued
with the Partnership. Plaintiffs sought the continuation of health
insurance and other employee benefits, and to compel the defendants to make
payments to certain pension plans sufficient to assure full payment of
benefits. The complaint did not specify the amount of the claimed
damages.
In 1993, a settlement was reached among the plaintiffs and the Corporation,
Vulcan and the Partnership which is more fully described in the
Corporation's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed in 1993. On December
14, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court authorized payment of $133,000 from the
Partnership's estate for the benefit of the Settlement Class, which funds
were subject to the Corporation's liens. Payment has been made in
accordance with the settlement.
Andras,_et_al_v._Ampco-Pittsburgh_Corporation,_Vulcan,_Inc.,_Microdot,
Inc.,_Valley_Mould_Corporation_and_Valley-Vulcan_Mold_Company. This
purported class action was brought in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Ohio by the United Steelworkers of America
("USW"), the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America ("UAW"), UAW Local 758, and
certain retired and former hourly employees. The plaintiffs brought the
action on behalf of employees who worked at plants formerly operated by
Microdot, plants formerly operated by Vulcan, and, as to some of these
employees, who continued to work for the Partnership. The plaintiffs
sought to compel defendants to provide health insurance and other employee
benefits and to make payments to certain pension plans. Plaintiffs did not
specify the amounts of damages they sought.
This action was also settled as described in the Corporation's quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q filed in 1993. On January 11, 1994, following notice
and a hearing, the District Court entered an Order approving the fairness
and adequacy of the allocations of the $500,000 settlement amount to the
USW Settlement Class. Payment was made in March, 1994.
Official_Unsecured_Creditors'_Committee_of_Valley-Vulcan_Mold_Company_v.
Microdot,_Inc.,_Valley_Mould_Corporation,_Ampco-Pittsburgh_Corporation_and
Vulcan,_Inc. The plaintiff, allegedly on behalf of the debtor
Partnership, filed the Adversary Proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Ohio against Microdot, Valley, Vulcan
and the Corporation, seeking to set aside the Corporation's liens on the
Partnership's assets, to hold all defendants liable for the debts of the
Partnership, and return of all money received by any of the defendants from
the Partnership and out of the proceeds of a loan to the Partnership by a
third-party lender, alleged to be at least $9.35 million. The
Corporation's liens secure a guaranty that it was required to give with
respect to a Vulcan obligation that was assumed by the Partnership, and a
$500,000 loan made to the Partnership.
The trial of this lawsuit was held the week of October 4, 1993 and
post-trial briefs have been filed. The Court has not yet rendered its
decision.
The Corporation is also involved in certain environmental proceedings. The
River Road Landfill in Mercer County, Pennsylvania was used by Greenville Steel
Car Company ("GSCC") when it was an operating subsidiary. GSCC has been
designated as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") along with several other
companies. Waste Management, the owner of the site, has alleged that GSCC is
liable for approximately $200,000 of the cleanup cost. The PRPs are continuing
to negotiate and to date no settlement has been reached.
There are various other environmental proceedings, which all involve
discontinued operations. In some of those proceedings, the Corporation has
been designated as a PRP. However, the Corporation believes that in each
instance it is either a de minimis participant based on information known to
date and the estimated quantities of waste at these sites and/or that it is
entitled to indemnity from the successors of the operations alleged to be
involved.

_______________
*Mr. Wasser retired on January 15, 1994. In connection with that retirement,
he will receive supplemental payments totalling $55,400 in 1994.
(b) COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
The Corporation has a tax qualified retirement plan applicable to the
Executive Officers, to which the Corporation makes annual contributions in
amounts determined by the Plan's actuaries. The Plan does not have an offset
for Social Security and is fully paid for by the Corporation. Under the Plan,
employees become fully vested after five years of participation and normal
retirement age under the Plan is age 65 but actuarially reduced benefits may be
available for early retirement at age 55. The benefit formula is 1.1% of the
highest consecutive five year average earnings in the final ten years, times
years of service.
The Corporation adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) in
1988, for all officers listed in the compensation table and certain key
employees, covering retirement after completion of ten years of service and
attainment of age 55. The combined retirement benefit at age 65 provided by
the Plan and the SERP is 50% of the highest consecutive five year average
earnings in the final ten years of service. The participants are eligible for
reduced benefits for early retirement at age 55. A benefit equal to 50% of the
benefit otherwise payable at age 65 is paid to the surviving spouse of any
participant, who has had at least five years of service, commencing on the
later of the month following the participant's death or the month the
participant would have reached age 55. In addition, there is an offset for
pensions from other companies. Certain provisions, applicable if there is a
change of control, are discussed below under Termination of Employment and
Change of Control Arrangement.
The following shows the annual pension that would be payable, without
offset, under the Plan and the SERP to the individuals named in the compensa-
tion table assuming continued employment to retirement at age 65, but no change
in level of compensation:
Marshall L. Berkman $125,000
Robert A. Paul $116,000
Ernest G. Siddons $107,000
Robert F. Schultz $ 60,125
Sidney Wasser $ 55,375
(c) COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
In 1993, each Director who was not employed by the Corporation received
$1,500 for each Board meeting, and $250 for each Committee meeting attended.
In 1994, each Director who is not employed by the Corporation will receive
$2,000 for each Board meeting attended and $500 for each Committee meeting
attended. Directors will receive one-half of those amounts if not in
attendance or if participation is by telephonic connection.
(d) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
The Chairman, President, and Senior Vice President Finance have two year
contracts (which automatically renew for one year periods unless the
Corporation chooses not to extend) providing for compensation equal to five
times their annual compensation (with a provision to gross up to cover the cost
of any federal excise tax on the benefits) in the event their employment is
terminated (including a voluntary departure for good cause) and the right to
equivalent office space and secretarial help for a period of one year after a
change in control. In addition, the remainder of the officers named in the
compensation table and certain key employees have two year contracts providing
for three times their annual compensation in the event their employment is
terminated after a change in control (including a voluntary departure for good
cause). Both types of contracts provide for the continuation of employee
benefits, for three years for the three senior executives and two years for the
others, and the right to purchase the leased car used by the covered individual
at the Corporation's then book value. The same provisions concerning change in
control that apply to the contracts apply to the SERP and vest the right to
that pension arrangement. A change of control triggers the right to a lump sum
payment equal to the present value of the vested benefit under the SERP.
(e) SALARY COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION
DECISIONS
A Salary Committee is appointed each year by the Board of Directors.
Committee members abstain from voting on matters which involve their own
compensation arrangements. The Salary Committee for the year 1993 was
comprised of three Directors: Louis Berkman, Alvin G. Keller and William D.
Eberle.
Louis Berkman is an employee of the Corporation and Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. He is also the President and a
Director of The Louis Berkman Company. The Corporation's Chief Executive
Officer and President are also officers and directors of The Louis Berkman
Company.
The Louis Berkman Company and William D. Eberle had certain transactions
with the Corporation which are more fully described under "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."
(f) SALARY COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Salary Committee approves salaries for executive officers within a
range from $150,000 up to $200,000 and increases in the salary of any executive
officer, which would result in such officer earning a salary within such range.
Salaries of $200,000 per year and above must be approved by the Board
of Directors or its Executive Committee after a recommendation by the Salary
Committee. Salaries for executive officers below the level of $150,000 are set
by the Chairman, President and Senior Vice President of the Corporation.
Bonuses are discretionary and determined in the same manner as set forth above.
All executive compensation is reviewed by the Salary Committee at intervals
ranging between twelve and twenty-four months.
The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, as well
as the other applicable executive officers, is based on an analysis conducted
by the Salary Committee in 1992 and reviewed and, to the extent provided above,
approved by the Board of Directors. The Committee does not specifically link
remuneration solely to quantitative measures of performance because of the
cyclical nature of the industries and markets served by the Corporation. In
setting compensation, the Committee also considers various qualitative factors,
including competitive compensation arrangements of other companies within
relevant industries, individual contributions, leadership ability and an
executive officer's overall performance. In this way, it is believed that the
Corporation will attract and retain quality management, thereby benefitting the
long-term interest of shareholders.
In 1993, there were no changes in salary of persons who need approval of
the Salary Committee.
This report of the Salary Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by
reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this 10-K report
into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Corporation specifically
incorporates this report and the information contained herein by reference, and
shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

Integrated Industry for its peer comparison. The diversity of products
produced by subsidiaries of the Corporation made it difficult to match to any
one product-based peer group. The Steel Industry was chosen because it is
impacted by some of the same end markets that the Corporation ultimately
serves, such as the automotive, appliance and construction industries.
Historical stock price performance shown on the above graph is not
necessarily indicative of future price performance.

ITEM_13_-_CERTAIN_RELATIONSHIPS_AND_RELATED_TRANSACTIONS
In 1993 the Corporation bought industrial supplies from, and was paid for
administration services by, The Louis Berkman Company in transactions in the
ordinary course of business amounting to approximately $926,000. Additionally,
the disinterested members of the Board of Directors authorized the sale of a
life insurance policy (on a person not affiliated with the Corporation) owned
by the Corporation to The Louis Berkman Company for the cash surrender value of
approximately $92,000. Louis Berkman, Marshall L. Berkman and Robert A. Paul
are shareholders, officers or directors in that company. These transactions
and services were at prices generally available from outside sources.
Transactions between the parties will take place in 1994.
In 1989, certain subsidiaries of the Corporation and Tertiary, Inc., a
corporation owned by the children of William Eberle, formed three 50/50
partnerships, to manage, develop and operate hotel properties and a subsidiary
of the Corporation also invested as a limited partner in one of the operating
partnerships. In 1992, Tertiary purchased two of the 50/50 partnerships. In
1993, Tertiary paid the remaining $100,000 from such purchase. Also in 1993,
one of the limited partnerships accrued a fee of $31,000 payable to William
Eberle for his guarantee of a mortgage loan. At December 31, 1993, there were
promissory notes outstanding from certain of the partnerships to subsidiaries
of the Corporation totalling $880,000. These notes are due in 1994; however,
it is anticipated that the maturity dates will be extended.

General - In 1989, a subsidiary of the Corporation and Tertiary, Inc., a corporation owned by the children of
William Eberle, a director of the Corporation, formed a 50/50 partnership, to manage, develop and
operate hotel properties in the northwestern part of the United States, generally through the formation
of other partnerships. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, other subsidiaries of the Corporation and
Tertiary, also in 1989, formed two 50/50 partnerships to act as general partner of operating
partnerships for specific hotel properties. A subsidiary of the Corporation also invested as a limited
partner in one of the operating hotel partnerships. In 1989, a subsidiary of the Corporation loaned
$1,000,000 to Tertiary, which was due on December 31, 1991, and for which the subsidiary received a
mortgage and a guaranty by William Eberle and his son, Jeffrey Eberle.
In addition to the receivable amount listed in the table above at December 31, 1993, the Corporation,
through its subsidiaries, still retains a 50% interest as a general partner and a 60% interest as a
limited partner in one hotel property with a carrying value of its investment of $442,000.

SCHEDULE_II_-_AMOUNTS_RECEIVABLE_FROM_RELATED_PARTIES
(continued)
Note 1 - On August 21, 1992, the Corporation sold a 50% general partnership interest to its 50% partner Tertiary,
Inc. The sale resulted in proceeds of $200,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash and a $100,000 promissory
note due August 21, 1993 with interest payable monthly at one percentage point over the prime rate. The
$100,000 promissory note was paid on its due date.
Note 2 - In 1991, the Corporation received payments against a $1,000,000 loan of: $227,500 in cash; $380,000 by
an assignment of a Tertiary, Inc. receivable (in the form of promissory notes) in one of the operating
partnerships and an assignment of Tertiary's limited partnership interest in that same operating
partnership of $142,500, leaving a balance of $250,000 which was paid in cash in February, 1992.
Note 3 - In 1990, the Corporation loaned $325,000 to Tukwila Associates Limited Partnership ("T.A.L.P."), to
finance construction of a hotel. During 1991 and 1992, an additional $200,000 was loaned and the
Corporation received $380,000 of notes by assignment from Tertiary, Inc. The notes received from
Tertiary, Inc. are guaranteed by William and Jeffrey Eberle and secured by the original mortgage on the
loan. Interest has been paid monthly on the notes at prime plus 2%.
In 1994 the interest rate on the notes will be increased by 2% to 10% and the maturity will be extended
until April 1, 1995. Repayment of the loans is anticipated either through sale of the hotel property or
future operating cash flow.
