Which code does this activity belong in?
The boundary between fabricated wire product manufacturing and spring manufacturing hinges on the final product. Establishments that manufacture springs from purchased materials, regardless of whether the input is wire, strip, or rod, are classified in Spring Manufacturing. Fabricated wire product manufacturing covers all other wire-based products, such as fencing, baskets, cable, and fasteners, that are made by forming or assembling purchased wire into finished goods.
