Key Insight: The SBA[7] assigns NAICS 334118 a size standard of 1,000 employees. Domestic peripheral manufacturers often specialize in ATMs, POS terminals, industrial displays, or specialty printers rather than commodity consumer devices. Many of these firms qualify as small businesses and can access SBA 7(a) loans[8] for production equipment, security testing laboratories, and manufacturing facility expansion. Additionally, 504/CDC loans[9] provide long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets such as real estate and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this industry.
What types of businesses manufacture computer peripherals and terminals?
Peripheral manufacturers range from global firms producing monitors and printers to domestic specialists building ATM machines, POS terminals, and ruggedized industrial displays. Some companies focus on financial transaction hardware meeting PCI and EMV security standards. Others produce wide-format printers for engineering and graphic arts markets. Barcode scanner manufacturers serve retail, logistics, and healthcare sectors. Specialty firms build custom human-machine interface terminals for manufacturing floor and kiosk applications.
How is the computer peripheral manufacturing industry structured?
The U.S. Census Bureau[5] reports roughly 418 establishments employing about 17,600 workers. Consumer monitor and printer production has shifted largely overseas.
