NAICS 332119

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the governmentwide standard for classifying business establishments to support the collection, analysis, and publication of statistics on the U.S. economy. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace SIC, NAICS is jointly maintained with Canada and Mexico; the current classification vintage is 2022. ¹

NAICS 332119 covers establishments primarily engaged in stamping metal crowns and closures and producing other non-automotive metal stampings and spun products. It excludes automotive stampings (classified under 336370), metal cans (332431), and coins (339911); surface finishing operations like cleaning and deburring performed as part of stamping or spinning are in scope. ²
