Manufacture of metal forming machinery

NACE v2.0 Code: C28.41

About manufacture of metal forming machinery

NACE code 28.41 covers the manufacture of metal forming machinery, a critical component of the broader metalworking industry. This sector plays a vital role in the production of a wide range of metal products, from automotive parts to construction materials. By providing the specialized equipment needed to shape, bend, and form metal, the metal forming machinery industry supports the growth and development of numerous other industries across the manufacturing landscape.

Production process

The manufacture of metal forming machinery typically involves a range of advanced production techniques. This includes the use of computer-controlled machine tools, such as presses, rollers, and stamping machines, to precisely shape and form metal components. Additionally, welding, cutting, and assembly processes are often employed to construct the final machinery. Quality control measures, such as rigorous testing and inspection, are also integral to ensuring the reliability and performance of the finished products.

Production inputs

The metal forming machinery industry relies on a variety of inputs, including high-quality steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys, as well as specialized components like hydraulic systems, electronic controls, and precision bearings. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, advanced manufacturing equipment, and a robust supply chain to source the necessary materials and components.

Production outputs

The primary output of the metal forming machinery industry is, of course, the machinery itself, which is then used by a wide range of other industries, such as 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles, and 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings. These industries, in turn, use the metal forming machinery to produce a diverse array of metal products, from structural beams to automotive parts and construction materials.
