Definition: NAICS 33281 Coating, engraving, heat treating, and allied activities

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) heat treating metals and metal products; (2) enameling, lacquering, and varnishing metals and metal products; (3) hot dip galvanizing metals and metal products; (4) engraving, chasing, or etching metals and metal products (except jewelry; personal goods carried on or about the person, such as compacts and cigarette cases; precious metal products (except precious plated flatware and other plated ware); and printing plates); (5) powder coating metals and metal products; (6) electroplating, plating, anodizing, coloring, and finishing metals and metal products; and (7) providing other metal surfacing services for the trade. Establishments in this industry coat engravings and heat treat metals and metal formed products fabricated elsewhere.

Cross-References. Establishments primarily engaged in--

Engraving, chasing or etching jewelry, metal personal goods, or precious (except precious plated) metal flatware and other plated ware--are classified in Industry 33991, Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing;
Engraving, chasing or etching printing plates--are classified in Industry 32312, Support Activities for Printing; and
Both fabricating and coating, engraving, and heat treating metals and metal products--are classified in manufacturing according to the product made.

Historical comparability

Almost Comparable NAICS 33281, Coating, engraving, heat treating, and allied activities, 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 33281 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.
