Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments in Steel Wire Drawing process purchased steel specifically into wire products through the drawing process. The boundary with Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing turns on product form; wire drawing produces wire, while rolling and drawing of other shapes produces plate, sheet, strip, rod, and bar from the same purchased steel input. Steel Wire Drawing covers the wire-specific conversion activity within the broader rolling and drawing sector.
