The manufacturing industries are involved in the design, manufacture and processing of products (parts, components or equipment) serving many areas of the economy: from the extraction of raw materials to their distribution and from the production of products to their marketing and use. It has 3 components: metal transformation (including metalworking and tooling), equipment (including machines, production systems and components) and precision technologies (including optics and measuring instruments).
