Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery

NACE v2.0 Code: C28.2

About manufacture of other general-purpose machinery

NACE code 28.2 covers the manufacture of a wide range of general-purpose machinery, which is essential for the efficient operation of various industries. This sector plays a crucial role in supporting the broader economy by providing the necessary tools and equipment for production, processing, and automation across multiple domains. The machinery produced under this classification is utilized in a diverse array of applications, from construction and agriculture to manufacturing and energy generation, making it a vital component of the industrial landscape.

Production process

The manufacture of general-purpose machinery typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and precision engineering techniques. This may include processes such as casting, forging, machining, welding, and the integration of electronic components. Manufacturers in this industry often employ advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) tools to optimize the design and production of their machinery, ensuring high levels of efficiency and quality.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the manufacture of general-purpose machinery include various metal alloys, such as steel, aluminum, and copper, as well as specialized components like bearings, gears, and hydraulic systems. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and industrial design. Manufacturers may also require access to advanced manufacturing equipment, including CNC machines, robotic assembly lines, and testing facilities.

Production outputs

The outputs of NACE code 28.2 encompass a diverse range of general-purpose machinery, including 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, 28.12 Manufacture of fluid power equipment, 28.13 Manufacture of other pumps and compressors, and 28.14 Manufacture of other taps and valves. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, such as 25.1 Manufacture of structural metal products, 27.1 Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus, and 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles, among others.
