Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster

NACE v2.0 Code: C23.6

About manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster

NACE code 23.6 covers the manufacture of a wide range of construction materials, including concrete, cement, and plaster products. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader construction sector, providing essential building materials for infrastructure, residential, and commercial projects. Its output is a fundamental input for many other industries, making it a vital component of the overall economy.

Production process

The production of concrete, cement, and plaster products typically involves a series of key steps. Firstly, raw materials such as limestone, clay, and sand are extracted and processed. These materials are then combined and heated to high temperatures, often in specialized kilns, to produce the desired cement or plaster compounds. The resulting products are then molded, cast, or extruded into the final articles, which may include bricks, blocks, pipes, tiles, and other construction elements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include a variety of raw materials, such as limestone, clay, sand, and gypsum. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the extraction, processing, and manufacturing of the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential for powering the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 23.6 are a diverse range of concrete, cement, and plaster products used in construction and building projects. These outputs are consumed by a number of other NACE codes, including 41.2 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.1 Construction of roads and railways, and 43.9 Other specialized construction activities.
