Manufacture of electrical equipment

NACE v2.1 Code: C27

About manufacture of electrical equipment

NACE code 27, 'Manufacture of electrical equipment', encompasses a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the modern economy. This sector is responsible for the production of a wide range of electrical devices, from household appliances to industrial machinery, powering the technological advancements that drive economic growth and societal progress. As a key component of the broader manufacturing landscape, the electrical equipment industry is a significant contributor to employment, innovation, and the overall competitiveness of national and global markets.

Production process

The manufacture of electrical equipment typically involves a combination of advanced manufacturing techniques, including precision engineering, automated assembly, and rigorous quality control processes. Depending on the specific product, the production process may involve the fabrication of components, the assembly of sub-assemblies, and the final integration of various electrical and electronic systems. Cutting-edge technologies, such as robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), are often employed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in the production of electrical equipment.

Production inputs

The electrical equipment industry relies on a diverse range of inputs, including raw materials such as metals, plastics, and specialized electronic components. Manufacturers in this sector also require access to advanced machinery, tools, and specialized equipment to facilitate the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is a critical input for the industry, as the manufacture of electrical equipment often involves complex technical knowledge and specialized expertise.

Production outputs

The electrical equipment industry produces a wide array of outputs, ranging from household appliances and consumer electronics to industrial motors, generators, and power distribution equipment. These products are essential for powering homes, businesses, and industrial facilities, and are often consumed by other NACE codes, such as 43 Construction, 33 Repair and installation of machinery and equipment, and 35 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply.
