Which code does this activity belong in?
Fastener manufacturing under 332722 uses specialized forming equipment such as headers, threaders, and nut forming machines to produce standardized fastener components. This code distinguishes fastener producers from precision turned product manufacturers, which use lathes and CNC turning centers to machine custom precision parts on a job or order basis. The fastener code covers establishments focused on high-volume production of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers, while precision turned manufacturers in 332721 engage in machining broader product categories to customer specifications using turning machines.
