Manufacture of wiring devices

NACE v2.1 Code: C27.33

About manufacture of wiring devices

NACE code 27.33 covers the manufacture of wiring devices, an essential component of electrical infrastructure and equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electrical and electronics sector, providing the necessary components for power distribution, control, and connectivity. Its products are fundamental to the functioning of a wide range of industries, from construction and manufacturing to telecommunications and renewable energy.

Production process

The manufacture of wiring devices typically involves a series of specialized production processes. This includes the cutting, shaping, and assembly of various metal and plastic components, such as switches, sockets, and cable fittings. Advanced techniques like injection molding and automated assembly lines are commonly employed to ensure efficient and consistent output.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of wiring devices include copper and other conductive metals, as well as various types of plastics and rubber for insulation and casing. Specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, stamping presses, and injection molding machines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating these specialized tools and equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the wiring devices manufacturing industry are a diverse range of products, including switches, sockets, plugs, junction boxes, and cable fittings. These components are then consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 27.12 Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus, 43.21 Electrical installation, and 27.11 Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers.
