manufacturing industry| Industry that involves the processing of raw materials or the assembly of components. Examples are aluminium smelting, car assembly, and computer assembly. In the UK many traditional manufacturing industries, built up in the Industrial Revolution, are now declining in importance; for example, shipbuilding. Developing countries may lack the capital (equipment and money) and expert knowledge necessary for these industries. |
