Details for Manufacture Of Office Machinery And Equipment Except Computers And Peripheral Equipment

SIC code 28230 is used for businesses carrying out activity in the field of manufacture of office machinery and equipment (except computers and peripheral equipment). In plain English, it is likely to include software houses, IT consultancies, platform operators, digital agencies, developers and technology service providers, with day-to-day activity often involving applications, databases, hosting, technical support, systems integration, data services and online platforms. As of June 2026, 28230 ranks 682nd out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 88 UK companies registered under it, making it a low-volume but still distinct area of registered company activity.

This sits within a classification system that has been used in the UK since the 1940s; Companies House filings moved from 4-digit SIC 2003 codes to the current 5-digit SIC 2007 scheme in 2008–2009, bringing the UK register into line with NACE Rev. 2. Because a UK company may register up to four SIC codes at Companies House, a business can pair this activity with other relevant codes where its operations span several markets or revenue streams.

The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as manufacture of office machinery and equipment (except computers and peripheral equipment) services, specialist manufacture of office machinery and equipment (except computers and peripheral equipment) providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. A company using this code might be newly incorporated, dormant, small and owner-managed, or part of a larger group, so the SIC entry should normally be read alongside accounts, confirmation statements, websites and other commercial signals.

The classification is especially valuable when comparing suppliers, prospecting for customers, segmenting a database, reviewing competition or checking how a company presents its principal line of business on the public record. For search and data work, the wording should be understood broadly: companies may use different everyday terms for the same activity, including trade names, sector jargon, abbreviated service descriptions and customer-facing language.
