Which code does this activity belong in?

This code covers establishments that manufacture veneer, plywood, engineered wood members, or reconstituted wood products such as particleboard and oriented strandboard. The boundary with Sawmills and Wood Preservation lies in the primary processing stage; sawmills cut logs into lumber, while this code begins with manufacturing finished or semi-finished products from lumber or wood residues. Other Wood Product Manufacturing covers establishments making wood products that do not fall into veneer, plywood, or engineered wood member categories.
