CAEN Division 25: Manufacture of Metal Products
CAEN Division 25 covers the manufacture of metal products, a fundamental industrial sector for the Romanian economy. From metal doors and windows to structures for construction and heating equipment, this branch serves both the domestic market and exports. In Romania, the metallurgy and metal processing industry has a long tradition, and CAEN 25 includes activities that valorize local raw materials and specialized labor. The macroeconomic importance of this sector is reflected in its contribution to fixed capital formation and infrastructure development. The manufacture of metal doors and windows, for example, is closely linked to the real estate and construction market, which has experienced sustained growth in recent years. Entrepreneurs operating in this division face challenges such as volatility in raw material prices, especially steel, and the need for continuous investment in advanced machinery to remain competitive. Also, compliance requirements with quality and safety standards impose additional costs but open opportunities on foreign markets. Overall, CAEN 25 represents a pillar of the Romanian manufacturing industry, with growth prospects supported by investments in construction and reindustrialization.
