Frequently asked questions
I carry out metal stamping and forging on a subcontract basis: ATECO code 25.40.00 or general metal machining?
Usually 25.40.00 if the process is forging, pressing, stamping, or roll-forming — i.e. shaping metal by deformation. If instead you remove material by turning, milling, or grinding, the correct code is 25.53.00. Sintering of objects from metal powders also falls here.
I produce parts by sintering metal powders: is this powder metallurgy 25.40.00 or casting?
I carry out roll-forming and drawing of metal sections: does this fall under 25.40.00 or primary metal transformation?
It depends on the stage of the production chain. Roll-forming metal by deformation is among the activities of 25.40.00, but cold-drawing of wire — which is a primary metal transformation — falls under 24.34.00. The question is whether you start from rod to produce a semi-finished product or whether you forge a shaped component.
I forge custom components that I then sell as structural metalwork parts: do I stay in 25.40.00 or move to metal structures?
Usually 25.40.00 if you sell the forged piece, since forging and stamping are the core of this code. When the finished product is instead an assembled load-bearing structure or frame, the code becomes 25.11.00.
