Definition: NAICS 33131 Alumina and aluminum production and processing

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) refining alumina; (2) making (i.e., the primary production) aluminum from alumina; (3) recovering aluminum from scrap or dross; (4) alloying purchased aluminum; and (5) manufacturing aluminum primary forms (e.g., bar, foil, pipe, plate, rod, sheet, tube, wire).

Cross-References. Establishments primarily engaged in--

Manufacturing aluminum oxide abrasives and refractories--are classified in Subsector 327, Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing;
Sorting and breaking up scrap aluminum metal without also smelting or refining--are classified in Sector 42, Wholesale Trade; and
Operating facilities where commingled recyclable materials, such as paper, plastics, used beverage cans, and metals are sorted into distinct categories without also smelting or refining--are classified in Industry 562920, Materials Recovery Facilities.

Historical comparability

Almost Comparable NAICS 33131, Alumina and aluminum production and processing, is close, but not quite comparable between 2002 and 1997. See the Bridge Between 2002 NAICS and 1997 NAICS for changes to constituent industries.

In comparisons with data before 1997, 1997 NAICS 33131 corresponds to the sum of multiple SIC codes. See the Bridge Between 1997 NAICS and 1987 SIC.

In the following table, both 1997 and 2002 data are classified by 1997 NAICS, so that the two years are comparable.

Comparative Statistics: 2002 and 1997
