About storage units

cpc code 4527 covers the storage units industry, which plays a vital role in the broader logistics and supply chain ecosystem. Storage units are essential for businesses and individuals to safely and securely store a wide range of goods, materials, and equipment. This industry is closely tied to the import/export sector, as storage facilities are often used to house goods before they are shipped or distributed to their final destinations.

Production process

The production of storage units typically involves the fabrication of various components, such as shelving, racks, and containers, using materials like steel, aluminum, or plastic. These components are then assembled into complete storage units, which may be designed for specific applications like warehousing, self-storage, or industrial settings. The manufacturing process often includes cutting, welding, and finishing techniques to ensure the durability and functionality of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the storage units industry include raw materials like steel, aluminum, and plastic, as well as various hardware components such as fasteners, hinges, and locking mechanisms. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the fabrication and assembly of storage units, as well as skilled labor to operate these machines and assemble the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the storage units industry are the storage units themselves, which are then sold or leased to businesses and individuals for their storage needs. These storage units may be used in a variety of settings, including 4931 Warehousing and storage, 4932 Logistics and transportation services, and 5321 Retail trade, where they are used to store and organize a wide range of goods, materials, and equipment.
