Manufacture of ceramic sanitary fixtures

NACE v2.0 Code: C23.42

About manufacture of ceramic sanitary fixtures

NACE code 23.42 covers the manufacture of ceramic sanitary fixtures, an essential industry that produces a wide range of bathroom and kitchen products. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and renovation sectors, providing the necessary ceramic components for modern plumbing and sanitation systems. As a key part of the broader ceramics manufacturing industry, the manufacture of ceramic sanitary fixtures contributes significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of ceramic sanitary fixtures typically involves a series of specialized techniques. The process often begins with the preparation of clay or other ceramic materials, which are then shaped into the desired forms using methods such as pressing, casting, or extrusion. These shaped pieces are then dried and fired in high-temperature kilns to achieve the desired hardness, strength, and durability. Finally, the finished products may undergo additional processes, such as glazing or decorative treatments, to enhance their appearance and functionality.

Production inputs

The manufacture of ceramic sanitary fixtures requires a range of raw materials, machinery, and other resources. The primary inputs include high-quality clay, minerals, and other ceramic materials, as well as specialized equipment for shaping, drying, and firing the products. Additionally, the industry relies on energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, to power the production processes, as well as skilled labor to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the ceramic sanitary fixtures industry are a diverse range of bathroom and kitchen products, including toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other sanitary ware. These products are then consumed by the construction and renovation sectors, as well as by individual consumers. The outputs of this industry may also be used as inputs for other related NACE codes, such as 43.22 Plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation and 43.33 Floor and wall covering, which incorporate ceramic sanitary fixtures into their final products and services.
