What it includes

This division includes the manufacture of pure metal products (for example, parts, containers, structures), usually with a static, immovable function. This is in contrast to divisions 26 to 30, which cover the manufacture of combinations or assemblies of such metal products (sometimes with other materials) into more complex units that – unless they are purely electrical, electronic or optical – work with moving parts.

It also includes

This division also includes the manufacture of products of composite materials in which metals are the predominant material.
The manufacture of weapons and ammunition is also included in this division.

What it excludes

specialised repair and maintenance activities of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, see 331
specialised installation of manufactured goods produced in this division in buildings (e.g. central heating boilers), see 4322

What a NOGA code is, and how to find a company's code

Company counts cover the 145,068 of 782,904 active companies in the commercial register that Prospex has coded so far, from their registered purpose and website, so they are a floor. Geneva is 93% coded, because its cantonal register publishes a code per company; the other cantons 11% so far. They are Prospex's codes, not the code the BFS assigns in its business register (BUR). Codes, labels and notes: Swiss Federal Statistical Office (BFS), NOGA 2025, through the I14Y interoperability platform and the KUBB coding tool.
