Wholesale of machine tools

NACE v2.0 Code: G46.62

About wholesale of machine tools

NACE code 46.62 covers the wholesale of machine tools, a critical industry that supports the manufacturing and production sectors across the global economy. Machine tools are essential for the fabrication, shaping, and processing of a wide range of raw materials into finished products. The wholesale of these specialized machines plays a vital role in ensuring manufacturers have access to the equipment they need to drive innovation, boost productivity, and remain competitive.

Production process

The wholesale of machine tools involves the procurement, storage, and distribution of a diverse range of machinery used for metalworking, woodworking, and other industrial applications. This includes lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, and more. Wholesalers typically source these tools from specialized manufacturers, both domestically and internationally, and then sell them to a variety of customers, including 25.73 Manufacture of tools, 28.41 Manufacture of metal forming machinery, and other industrial end-users.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the wholesale of machine tools industry include the machine tools themselves, which are typically manufactured using a combination of metal, electronics, and other specialized components. Wholesalers also require warehousing and logistics infrastructure to store and transport the machinery, as well as a skilled sales force to liaise with customers and understand their specific needs.

Production outputs

The primary output of the wholesale of machine tools industry is the distribution and sale of a wide range of industrial machinery to manufacturing and production companies across various sectors. The machinery sold by these wholesalers is then used by 25.62 Machining, 28.49 Manufacture of other machine tools, and other industries to fabricate, shape, and process raw materials into finished products.
