Variant of NAICS 2012 - Energy sector

Non E - Industries not included in the energy sector

This category comprises all NAICS codes that do not relate to energy industries.

31-33e - Manufacturing, non E

This category comprises the portion of NAICS sector 31-33 'Manufacturing' that does not relate to energy industries.

321 - Wood product manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing products from wood. There are three industry groups in this subsector, comprising establishments engaged in sawing logs into lumber and similar products, or preserving these products; making products that improve the natural characteristics of wood, by making veneers, plywood, reconstituted wood panel products or engineered wood assemblies; and making a diverse range of wood products, such as millwork.

• Exclusion(s)

  • logging; and chipping logs in the field (See 113 Forestry and logging)
  • manufacturing wood pulp, paper and paper products (See 322 Paper manufacturing)
  • manufacturing wood kitchen cabinets and counters, and bathroom vanities (See 337 Furniture and related product manufacturing)
  • manufacturing wood signs and coffins (See 339 Miscellaneous manufacturing)

3212 - Veneer, plywood and engineered wood product manufacturing

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing softwood and hardwood veneer and plywood; structural wood members, except lumber; and reconstituted wood panel products. Veneer is produced as a thin sheet of wood of uniform thickness by peeling or slicing logs. Plywood is produced by gluing and compressing together, three or more sheets of veneer, with the grain of alternate sheets usually laid crosswise. Structural wood members are made by laminating, joining and assembling wood components according to specified engineering design criteria. Reconstituted wood panel products are produced by processes involving pressure, adhesives and binders. The laminated products produced in this industry may have layers of materials other than wood.

Veneer is produced as a thin sheet of wood of uniform thickness by peeling or slicing logs. Plywood is produced by gluing and compressing together, three or more sheets of veneer, with the grain of alternate sheets usually laid crosswise. Structural wood members are made by laminating, joining and assembling wood components according to specified engineering design criteria. Reconstituted wood panel products are produced by processes involving pressure, adhesives and binders. The laminated products produced in this industry may have layers of materials other than wood.

• Exclusion(s)

  • manufacturing solid wood structural members, such as dimension lumber and timber; and preserving purchased plywood (See 32111 Sawmills and wood preservation)
  • manufacturing containers, such as fruit baskets and boxes, from veneer made in the same establishment (See 321920 Wood container and pallet manufacturing)
  • manufacturing gypsum board (See 327420 Gypsum product manufacturing)

321211 - Hardwood veneer and plywood mills^US

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing hardwood veneer and plywood.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • panels, hardwood plywood, manufacturing
  • plywood mills, hardwood
  • veneer mills, hardwood

  All examples

• Exclusion(s)

  • preserving purchased plywood (See 321114 Wood preservation)

321212 - Softwood veneer and plywood mills^US

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing softwood veneer and plywood.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • panels, softwood plywood, manufacturing
  • plywood mills, softwood
  • veneer mills, softwood

  All examples

• Exclusion(s)

  • preserving purchased plywood (See 321114 Wood preservation)

321215 - Structural wood product manufacturing^CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing structural wood members, other than solid dimension lumber and timber.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • arches and beams, glued-laminated or pre-engineered wood, manufacturing
  • finger jointed lumber, manufacturing
  • glued-laminated timber (glulam), manufacturing
  • laminated veneer lumber (LVL), manufacturing
  • nailed-laminated lumber beams, manufacturing
  • parallel strand lumber (PSL), manufacturing
  • structural wood members, prefabricated (e.g., arches, trusses, I-joists and parallel chord ceilings), manufacturing

  All examples

• Exclusion(s)

  • fabricating structural wood members at construction sites (See 23 Construction)
  • manufacturing solid wood structural members, such as dimension lumber and timber (See 321111 Sawmills (except shingle and shake mills))

321216 - Particle board and fibreboard mills^CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing particle board and fibreboard. Particle board is made from wood particles, which are often the residue from other wood processing operations, combined under heat and pressure with a water resistant binder. Fibreboard is made from wood fibres, bonded together completely or partially by the lignin in the wood.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • fibreboard, manufacturing
  • hardboard, manufacturing
  • insulation board, cellular fibre or hard pressed wood, manufacturing
  • medium density fibreboard (MDF), manufacturing
  • particle board, manufacturing

  All examples

321217 - Waferboard mills^CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing waferboard and oriented strandboard (OSB). These products are made from wafers or strands of wood such as aspen, poplar or southern yellow pine, combined with a waterproof binder, and bonded together by heat and pressure.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • oriented strandboard (OSB), manufacturing
  • waferboard mills
