Manufacture of ovens, furnaces and permanent household heating equipment

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.21

About manufacture of ovens, furnaces and permanent household heating equipment

NACE code 28.21 covers the manufacture of ovens, furnaces, and permanent household heating equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing essential products for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. From traditional fireplaces to modern high-efficiency furnaces, the manufacturers within this NACE code contribute to the comfort and energy efficiency of buildings across various sectors.

Production process

The production of ovens, furnaces, and permanent household heating equipment typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and testing processes. Manufacturers may start with raw materials such as steel, cast iron, or specialized alloys, which are then cut, formed, and welded into the desired shapes and components. Advanced production techniques, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are often employed to ensure precision and consistency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as 24.10 Steel production, 24.20 Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, and 24.51 Casting of iron, as well as various electronic components, insulation materials, and specialized equipment like welding machines and heat treatment furnaces. The industry also relies on skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, assemble, and test the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.21 are ovens, furnaces, and permanent household heating equipment, such as boilers, radiators, and fireplaces. These products are then consumed by a range of other industries, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 43.22 Plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation, and 47.54 Retail sale of electrical household appliances in specialised stores.
