Manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal

NACE v2.0 Code: C25.2

About manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal

NACE code 25.2 covers the manufacture of a wide range of metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers used across various industries. This sector plays a crucial role in the storage and transportation of liquids, gases, and other materials, supporting activities in 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 19.2 Manufacture of refined petroleum products, and 35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution, among others. The manufacture of these metal products is an important part of the broader metal fabrication industry, contributing to the efficient functioning of many economic activities.

Production process

The production of metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers typically involves a series of metalworking processes. This may include cutting, forming, welding, and finishing operations to shape the metal into the desired vessel. Advanced techniques like computer-numerical control (CNC) machining and automated welding are often employed to ensure precision and consistency in the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include various types of metal, such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, as well as components like valves, fittings, and insulation materials. Specialized machinery, such as metal-cutting tools, forming presses, and welding equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including welders, fabricators, and machine operators, to carry out the necessary tasks.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 25.2 are metal tanks, reservoirs, and containers used for the storage and transportation of liquids, gases, and other materials. These products are then consumed by a range of industries, including 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 19.2 Manufacture of refined petroleum products, 35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution, and 38.2 Waste treatment and disposal. The versatility of these metal vessels makes them essential components in various supply chains and industrial processes.
