Manufacture of steel drums and similar containers

NACE v2.1 Code: C25.91

About manufacture of steel drums and similar containers

NACE code 25.91 covers the manufacture of steel drums and similar metal containers. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of products, from chemicals and petrochemicals to food and beverages. Steel drums and containers are valued for their durability, reusability, and ability to safely transport and store hazardous or sensitive materials.

Production process

The production of steel drums and similar containers typically involves a series of metalworking processes. This includes cutting, forming, welding, and finishing operations to shape the steel into the desired container form. Automated machinery and specialized equipment are often used to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are steel sheets or coils, which are the raw material used to fabricate the containers. Additionally, the industry requires various tools, machinery, and equipment for the metalworking processes, such as presses, welding machines, and finishing equipment. Ancillary components like lids, gaskets, and valves may also be necessary, depending on the specific container design.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is steel drums and similar metal containers, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries. These containers are widely used for the storage and transportation of liquids, powders, and other materials, including 20.13 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, and 10.89 Manufacture of other food products n.e.c..
