Major group context PRODUCTS This Major group comprises establishments engaged in chemical processing as their primary production process and those engaged in the mixing and final processing of substances produced by these chemical processes that are not identified in other major groups. Establishments primarily engaged in refining ferrous and non- ferrous metals and manufacturing alloys and nuclear fuels are classified in the Major group 22 -- Manufacture of iron and steel or Major group 23 -- Manufacture of non- ferrous metals and prod ucts. Establishments primarily engaged in petroleum refining or the manufacture of coke are classified in the Major group 17 -- Manufacture of petroleum and coal products. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing seasonings, confectionery with gelatin as the principal ingredient and animal and vegetable oils and fats and refining edible oils and fats are classified in the Major group 09 -- Manufacture of food. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing alcoholic beverages, feed (prepared anima l foods) and organic fertilizers are classified in the Major group 10 -- Manufacture of beverages, tobacco and feed. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing glass and baking limestone and dolomite are classified in the Major group 21 -- Manufacture of ceramic, stone and clay products. Establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of rubber products are classified in the Major group 19 -- Manufacture of rubber products. Establishments primarily engaged in packaging and repackaging chemical indus trial products they purchased for the purpose of selling and not in manufacturing chemical industrial products by themselves are classified in the Division I -- WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE.
