Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 332119 covers establishments that stamp metal into crowns, closures, and other unfinished products, or spin unfinished metal products. The critical boundary is that when metal stamping or spinning establishments further process their output through machining or assembly into a specific finished product, they are classified by the finished product industry instead. Stamping and spinning of metal differs from forging, which shapes metal through hammering, and from roll forming, which bends metal using rotary rolls with various contours.
