Which code does this activity belong in?
Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing covers establishments that roll or draw steel into plate, sheet, strip, rod, and bar from purchased steel. The boundary with Steel Wire Drawing is clear: producers of wire from purchased steel are classified separately, while producers of other rolled shapes such as plate, sheet, strip, rod, and bar remain in Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing. Both activities involve working with purchased steel, but the distinction hinges on the final product form.
