Industry Definition & Overview
All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (NAICS 339999) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in miscellaneous manufacturing not classified elsewhere in the NAICS system. This catch-all category excludes medical equipment, jewelry, sporting goods, toys, office supplies, signs, gaskets, musical instruments, fasteners, brooms, and burial caskets, which each have their own dedicated classifications. Products within this industry include candles, artificial Christmas trees, matches, cigarette lighters, fire extinguishers, hairpieces and wigs, umbrellas, tobacco pipes, and other specialty items. The U.S. Census Bureau[5] classifies this residual category within miscellaneous manufacturing.
Production methods vary enormously given the diversity of products. Candle manufacturing involves wax melting, fragrance blending, wick insertion, and molding or dipping processes. Fire extinguisher production requires pressure vessel fabrication, chemical agent filling, and safety testing. Artificial tree manufacturing uses wire forming, plastic molding, and hand assembly of branch components. Wig production demands specialized hair processing, ventilating, and styling. Each product niche operates with its own distinct supply chains, regulatory requirements, and distribution channels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics[6] tracks employment across this diverse manufacturing subsector.
Under SBA size standards[7], NAICS 339999 carries a threshold of 550 employees. Small specialty manufacturers dominate the industry by establishment count, each occupying narrow product niches. Import competition varies by product category, with artificial trees and lighters facing heavy overseas competition while fire safety equipment and custom specialty items retain stronger domestic production bases. Seasonal demand patterns affect specific product lines, particularly candles and artificial holiday decorations that peak before year-end retail selling periods.

NAICS 339999 is a catch-all category covering miscellaneous manufacturers not classified elsewhere. Products include candles, artificial Christmas trees, fire extinguishers, wigs and hairpieces, umbrellas, matches, lighters, tobacco pipes, and other specialty items. The U.S. Census Bureau[5] excludes specific product categories that have their own dedicated NAICS codes.
How is miscellaneous manufacturing structured?
This industry comprises many small specialty producers, each occupying narrow product niches with distinct supply chains and distribution channels. Candle manufacturers may operate automated production lines while wig makers rely on skilled hand labor. Fire extinguisher producers face stringent safety certification requirements. Product diversity means no single production method or business model characterizes the overall industry.
What is the SBA size standard for NAICS 339999?
The SBA sets the size standard at 550 employees for all other miscellaneous manufacturing. Most firms operate well below this threshold as small specialty producers. The SBA size standard table[7] applies this employee count for small business certification and federal contracting eligibility.
What NAICS codes are related to all other miscellaneous manufacturing?
Related codes span the entire 3399 subsector: 339991 (gaskets), 339993 (fasteners), 339994 (brooms and brushes), 339992 (musical instruments), 339950 (signs), and 339995 (burial caskets). Distribution code 424990 covers miscellaneous nondurable goods wholesalers. The Census Bureau[5] places this as the residual category within miscellaneous manufacturing.
What industries are closely related to all other miscellaneous manufacturing?
Gasket manufacturers (339991) and fastener producers (339993) share the same subsector. Broom and brush makers (339994) share consumer product channels.

Can miscellaneous manufacturers qualify for SBA loans?
Yes, firms with 550 or fewer employees qualify as small businesses under SBA guidelines[7]. The 7(a) loan program supports equipment purchases, seasonal inventory buildup, and working capital. Many 504 program covers facility purchases and production space expansion. Product-specific certifications like fire extinguisher testing represent common financed compliance costs.
Where is miscellaneous manufacturing concentrated in the United States?
Establishments distribute broadly given the diversity of products covered. Candle manufacturing clusters in the Midwest and Northeast. Fire safety equipment producers locate near industrial markets. Specialty product manufacturers often concentrate in regions with relevant raw material access or skilled labor traditions. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns[8] tracks establishment counts by state for this catch-all code.
