Manufacture of other machine tools

NACE code 28.42 covers the manufacture of a wide range of specialized machine tools, including metalworking machines, woodworking machines, and other industrial machinery. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader manufacturing sector, providing the essential equipment and tools needed for the production of a diverse array of goods. As a key component of the capital goods industry, the manufacture of other machine tools is a significant contributor to economic growth and industrial development.

The production of machine tools under NACE code 28.42 typically involves a combination of precision engineering, advanced manufacturing techniques, and specialized expertise. This may include computer numerical control (CNC) machining, additive manufacturing, and other advanced fabrication methods to ensure the high quality and accuracy of the final products. The manufacturing process often involves the careful selection and processing of raw materials, such as metals and alloys, to meet the specific performance requirements of the machine tools.

The manufacture of other machine tools requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as metals, plastics, and electronic components, as well as specialized machinery, tools, and equipment. Additionally, this industry relies on skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and operators, to design, assemble, and maintain the machine tools. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential inputs for the production process.

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.42 are the various types of machine tools, including metalworking machines, woodworking machines, and other specialized industrial machinery. These machine tools are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, such as 25.11 Manufacturing of metal structures and parts of structures, 28.22 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, and 33.12 Repair of machinery.
