About wholesale of wood, construction materials and sanitary equipment

NACE code 46.73 covers the wholesale trade of a wide range of construction-related products, including wood, building materials, and sanitary equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in the supply chain, connecting manufacturers and producers with construction firms, hardware stores, and other downstream businesses. As a key intermediary, the wholesale trade industry facilitates the efficient distribution of essential materials required for the development of infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, and other construction projects.

Production process

Wholesalers in this industry typically acquire products from various manufacturers and suppliers, then store, package, and distribute them to their customers. The main activities involve inventory management, order fulfillment, and logistics coordination to ensure a steady supply of goods to meet the demands of the construction sector.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry include a diverse range of raw materials and semi-finished products, such as 16.10 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 23.11 Manufacture of flat glass, 23.20 Manufacture of refractory products, and 23.51 Manufacture of cement. Wholesalers also rely on transportation services, warehousing facilities, and information technology systems to manage their operations effectively.

Production outputs

The outputs of the wholesale trade industry covered by NACE code 46.73 are primarily distributed to construction companies, home improvement stores, and other businesses involved in the construction and renovation of buildings and infrastructure. These outputs are then used as inputs for 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings and 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, among other related NACE codes.
