Manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery

NACE v2.0 Code: C28.96

About manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery

NACE code 28.96 covers the manufacture of machinery for the processing of plastics and rubber. This industry plays a vital role in the broader plastics and rubber manufacturing sectors, which are essential components of many industries, from automotive and construction to packaging and consumer goods. The machinery produced by this industry enables the efficient and high-quality processing of these versatile materials, contributing to the development and growth of a wide range of downstream products and applications.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery involve the fabrication, assembly, and testing of various mechanical and electrical components. This includes the production of molds, dies, and other specialized tools used in the plastics and rubber processing operations. Manufacturers in this industry often utilize advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies to optimize the design and production of their machinery.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery include a range of metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, and various alloys, as well as electrical and electronic components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and specialized software and control systems. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on a skilled workforce with expertise in mechanical engineering, industrial design, and production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the plastics and rubber machinery manufacturing industry are the various types of machinery and equipment used in the processing of these materials. This includes injection molding machines, extrusion equipment, blow molding machines, and other specialized machinery. The outputs of this industry are consumed by a wide range of 22.00 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products and 25.00 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment companies, as well as other industries that require plastics and rubber processing capabilities.
