Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines

NACE code 28.11 covers the manufacture of engines and turbines, excluding those used in aircraft, vehicles, and cycles. This industry plays a crucial role in powering a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, from power generation to marine propulsion. As a key component of the broader machinery and equipment manufacturing sector, the 28.11 industry contributes significantly to the overall productivity and competitiveness of the economy.

The production of engines and turbines under NACE code 28.11 typically involves a multi-stage process. This includes the design and engineering of the core components, such as the crankshaft, cylinder block, and fuel injection systems. Specialized metalworking techniques, including casting, forging, and machining, are then used to manufacture these parts with high precision. Final assembly, testing, and quality control measures ensure the engines and turbines meet rigorous performance and safety standards.

The 28.11 industry relies on a variety of raw materials and resources, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as steel and aluminum, as well as specialized alloys. Advanced manufacturing equipment, including computer-controlled machine tools and assembly lines, are essential for the production of these complex mechanical systems. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in engineering, metallurgy, and mechanical assembly.

The engines and turbines produced under NACE code 28.11 are used in a wide range of applications, including 27.11 Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus, 28.12 Manufacture of fluid power equipment, and 28.22 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment. These products are crucial components in the manufacturing of power generation equipment, industrial machinery, and transportation systems, among other industries.
