Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.2

About manufacture of other general-purpose machinery

NACE code 28.2 covers the manufacture of a wide range of general-purpose machinery, which plays a crucial role in supporting various industries across the economy. This sector encompasses the production of machinery and equipment used for tasks such as lifting, moving, and processing materials, as well as the manufacture of ventilation, refrigeration, and air conditioning equipment. The machinery produced under this NACE code is essential for enhancing productivity, efficiency, and automation in a diverse range of applications, making it a vital component of the broader manufacturing landscape.

Production process

The manufacture of general-purpose machinery typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and testing processes. Key production techniques may include metal casting, forging, stamping, and machining to shape the raw materials into the desired components. These components are then assembled using specialized tools and equipment, often with the integration of electronic control systems and software to enhance the functionality of the final products. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the reliability and performance of the machinery.

Production inputs

The production of general-purpose machinery requires a range of inputs, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as steel, aluminum, and copper, which are used as the primary raw materials. Additionally, the industry relies on various mechanical and electrical components, such as motors, gears, bearings, and control systems, as well as specialized tools and equipment for the manufacturing processes. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for powering the production facilities and equipment.

Production outputs

The machinery produced under NACE code 28.2 is used in a wide variety of applications across different industries. The output of this sector includes machinery for 28.22 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, 28.25 Manufacture of non-domestic cooling and ventilation equipment, and 28.29 Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery n.e.c., among others. These general-purpose machines and equipment are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 25.1 Manufacture of structural metal products, 28.1 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, and 33.1 Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery, and equipment.
