Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 33149 covers establishments that roll, draw, extrude, alloy, or recover nonferrous metals and their alloys, excluding copper and aluminum. The boundary with smelting and refining (NAICS 33141) is that this code handles transformation of already-produced metals, while smelting and refining establishments extract metal from ore or perform primary refining. Copper and copper alloy processing is classified in NAICS 33142 instead.
