Manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools
What this code covers
Use this group for manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools when the main activity includes Manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools for metal work and Manufacture of other machine tools. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
- This group includes the manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools (for example, the manufacture of machine tools for working metals and other materials, such as wood, bone, stone, hard rubber, hard plastics, cold glass, and so on), including those using a laser beam, ultrasonic waves, plasma arc or magnetic pulse.
- Activities primarily classified as manufacture of general-purpose machinery
- Activities primarily classified as manufacture of other general-purpose machinery
- Activities primarily classified as manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery
- Activities primarily classified as manufacture of other special-purpose machinery
- Compare with 28.1, 28.2, 28.3 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.

When might 28.4 not be the right code?
No separate exclusion examples are available for this record yet; compare nearby hierarchy records before final selection.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 28.4?
Compare 28.4 with 28.1 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, 28.2 Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery, and 28.3 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of general-purpose machinery, including Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, Manufacture of fluid power equipment, and Manufacture of other pumps and compressors. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of other general-purpose machinery, including Manufacture of ovens, furnaces and permanent household heating equipment, Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, and Manufacture of office machinery and equipment, except computers and peripheral equipment. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery, including Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for manufacture of other special-purpose machinery when the main activity includes While most of this special-purpose machinery is used in other manufacturing processes (for example, food manufacturing or textile manufacturing), this group also includes the manufacture of machinery specific for other non-manufacturing industries (for example, aircraft launching gear or amusement park equipment).. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools for metal work when the main activity includes Manufacture of machine tools for working metals, including those using a laser beam, ultrasonic waves, plasma arc, magnetic pulse, etc. and Manufacture of machine tools for turning, drilling, boring, threading or tapping for working metal. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of other machine tools when the main activity includes Manufacture of machine tools for working wood, cork, bone, stone, hard rubber, hard plastics, ceramics, concrete, cold glass or similar hard non-metal materials and Manufacture of work holders for machine tools. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. when the main activity includes This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 28.4 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 27.9 Manufacture of other electrical equipment, 28.4 Manufacture of metal forming machinery and machine tools.

Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
