Manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal

NACE v2.1 Code: C25.2

About manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal

NACE code 25.2 covers the manufacture of a wide range of metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers used across various industries. This sector plays a crucial role in the storage and transportation of liquids, gases, and other materials, supporting activities in sectors such as 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 19.2 Manufacture of refined petroleum products, and 24.1 Manufacture of basic iron and steel. The demand for these products is driven by factors like infrastructure development, industrial growth, and the need for efficient storage and distribution solutions.

Production process

The manufacture of metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers typically involves a series of metalworking processes. This may include cutting, forming, welding, and finishing operations to shape the metal into the desired vessel. Advanced techniques like computer-controlled cutting, robotic welding, and automated painting may be employed to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in the production process.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry include various types of metal, such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, which are sourced from the 24.1 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and 24.4 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals sectors. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, tools, and equipment for the metalworking operations, as well as energy resources, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of NACE code 25.2 are metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers of various sizes and designs, which are used for the storage and transportation of liquids, gases, and other materials. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 19.2 Manufacture of refined petroleum products, 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution, and 49.5 Transport via pipeline.

Revisions to 25.2
