Analysis
NAICS 333310 is the 2022 national industry for commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing, part of 33331 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing). Census lists 150 example activities under it in the official index.
Census lists 12 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 3352, 334111, 334118 and 334210. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include adding machines manufacturing, aerial cameras manufacturing, alignment equipment, motor vehicle, manufacturing and balancing equipment, motor vehicle, manufacturing, among 150 in all.
For example, manufacturing household-type appliances are classified in 3352 (Household Appliance Manufacturing) instead.
County Business Patterns publishes no national count for it, either because the code is out of the survey's scope or because the figures are suppressed to protect individual businesses.
