Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products n.e.c.

NACE code 23.99 covers the manufacture of a diverse range of non-metallic mineral products that do not fall under any other specific NACE category. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing essential materials and components for construction, infrastructure, and various industrial applications. The products manufactured under this code contribute to the development and maintenance of the built environment, making it a crucial sector for economic growth and progress.

The production techniques used in this industry vary depending on the specific product being manufactured. However, common processes often involve extraction, crushing, grinding, mixing, molding, and firing or curing of non-metallic mineral raw materials. Advanced technologies, such as computer-controlled machinery and automation, are increasingly being adopted to improve efficiency and quality control.

The main inputs required for the manufacture of non-metallic mineral products under NACE code 23.99 include a wide range of raw materials, such as clay, sand, gravel, limestone, gypsum, and various other natural and synthetic minerals. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, energy sources, and skilled labor to transform these raw materials into the desired products.

The diverse range of non-metallic mineral products manufactured under NACE code 23.99 includes items such as abrasive products, refractory products, ceramic tiles and flags, bricks, tiles, and construction products. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, and 23.11 Manufacture of flat glass.
