Manufacture of machinery for metallurgy

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.91

About manufacture of machinery for metallurgy

NACE code 28.91 covers the manufacture of machinery used in the metallurgy industry. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing sector, providing essential equipment and tools for the production, processing, and refining of metals. The machinery produced under this classification is vital for the efficient and effective operation of metal-based industries, contributing to the overall competitiveness and productivity of the economy.

Production process

The manufacture of machinery for metallurgy typically involves a range of advanced production techniques. This includes the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software to engineer and model the machinery, as well as computer numerical control (CNC) machining to precisely fabricate the various components. Assembly of the final products often requires specialized welding, fitting, and testing procedures to ensure the machinery meets rigorous quality and safety standards.

Production inputs

The production of machinery for metallurgy requires a diverse range of inputs, including high-quality steel, specialized alloys, and advanced electronic components. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on specialized tools, such as cutting and grinding equipment, as well as advanced measurement and testing instruments. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and machinists, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of NACE code 28.91 is a wide range of machinery used in the metallurgy industry, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and casting machines. These products are then consumed by other NACE codes, including 24.10 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, 24.20 Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel, and 24.51 Casting of iron, among others. The machinery produced in this industry is essential for the efficient and effective production, processing, and refining of metals, which are fundamental inputs for a wide range of manufacturing and construction activities.
