Manufacturing in Pelinai (Pacifica)

Manufacturing in Pelinai is a significant portion of the Pelinese economy, accounting for 35.7% of its GDP in 2022 and a large fraction of its economic growth during the 21st century. It encompasses a diverse portfolio of production sectors, many of which are advanced technology industries that employ a large amount of college-educated workers and offer a high degree of value added. Some of its most significant products include steel, semiconductors, computers & consumer electronics, aircraft, ships, automobiles, petroleum products, and manufacturing equipment; other industries with some degree of importance include wood products and the pulp and paper industry.

Despite its possession of a modestly sized manufacturing sector since the mid-1840s and early experiments with sectors such as aircraft production, the Pelinese economy remained largely agriculture-based throughout the 19th century and most of the 20th. The Pelinese industrial base in its modern form was established gradually during the period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, when the Pelinese government invested substantial amounts of resources into manufacturing in order to reestablish its economy after the Pelinese Civil War and supply materials for the ongoing repair and construction of infrastructure. The Pelinese state’s involvement and priorities in this early establishment remains evident in the modern composition of the Pelinese manufacturing sector, which possesses a high presence of heavy industrial firms and a larger fraction of state-owned enterprises than other sectors of the economy.

Sectors

Metals

Pelinai possesses a significant ore processing and metal alloy production complex, aided both by high domestic demand from other manufacturing sectors and by easy access to a wide variety of raw materials produced by the Pelinese mining industry. The industry as defined by the Pelinese Ministry of Economics includes factories involved in the processing of metal ores, the fabrication of both steel and nonferrous metal semi-finished casting products, and/or their subsequent shaping into primary forms (bar stock, plates, and tubes); integrated steel mills and other factories that further process metal into finished products such as I-beams and railway rails are also included.

Much of the Pelinese metal processing industry is concentrated in the region of western Stelossia, particularly in the city of Korolyeviya and its surrounding metropolitan area.

Nonferrous metals

The production of nonferrous metals and alloys, including aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, superalloys, and others, is a major component of the Pelinese metal processing sector by revenue and a critical source of basic raw materials used by other sectors of the Pelinese manufacturing industry. Its principal industrial customers include a wide range of construction, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics, automotive, petrochemicals, and machine-building companies both in Pelinai and abroad, and the export of both nonferrous metal alloys and their derived products is a significant fraction of Pelinai’s manufacturing export revenue.

Pelinai has attained status as a world leader in the design and production of specialty aluminum alloys in particular, such as Aluminum-lithium and aluminum-scandium alloys used for demanding applications in aerospace and other fields. Its aluminum processing sector makes extensive use of the latest technology in manufacturing high-performance alloys of such types in a safe and economical manner, allowing for their extensive application in other Pelinese manufacturing products such as civil and military aircraft.

Aerospace

The aerospace industry in Pelinai is highly diversified and encompasses companies producing a variety of products, including completed aircraft, rocket components & engines, satellites, jet engine systems, aircraft mechanical components, avionics systems, and more. Aerospace and allied industrial firms are a prominent component of many aspects of the Pelinese manufacturing landscape, with a strong presence in both the Pelinese state’s portfolio of national industrial firms and many of the major keiretsu specializing in heavy industry; due to a high level of focus on aerospace development by both the Pelinese and former communist governments, a higher proportion of aerospace firms are also state-owned in comparison to other manufacturing sectors.

Aircraft

In contrast to many other heavy industries, aircraft manufacturing has a long history as a significant sector of the Pelinese economy. Its modern implementation employs approximately 410,000 people in a great variety of companies, ranging from small, specialized firms marketing products such as aircraft kits and light aircraft to established builders of military and heavy civil aircraft like Aetherdyne and Nanohi. In addition to the traditional combination aircraft designer/builder model, some companies in Pelinai specialize in aircraft design only and delegate their production to a dedicated manufacturer; such design bureaus are almost uniformly state-operated and in a keiretsu with their associated airframe builder, while traditionally organized firms exhibit more variety in their structure. The vast majority of the supply chains used by the Pelinese aerospace industry are domestic, including both raw materials and intermediate manufactured components, which has also allowed a strong presence of companies specializing in the production of aircraft electrical systems, avionics, powerplants, hydraulic systems, and other subsystems.

Pelinai possesses many significant aircraft firms, including Aetherdyne IDB, Nanohi IDB, Yoruka, Kaiyoko-Ruzikov, Torikov, Rūna, and Sochaiko Aviation, while major helicopter production firms include Haruko and Berkut. Major centers of final airframe assembly in Pelinai include Nishiyama and Korolyeviya in Stelossia, as well as Kurokawa in Sevaria; component production is concentrated in the same areas, along with greater diffusion into neighboring towns.

Electronics

Pelinai possesses an electronics manufacturing industry with a high level of technological suphostication and production volume capacity, due primarily to the efforts of the Pelinese state and state-owned industry to encourage its development for military purposes. It encompasses the full range of electronics products, including semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, electronic subsystems, and completed electronics, as well as peripheral devices. In addition to “pure” electronics like computer systems and handheld electronics, much of Pelinai’s electronics equipments production is used as intermediate manufactured components of other products such as automobiles, aircraft, and machinery.

Since the beginnings of semiconductor manufacturing in Kikayu, Stelossia in 1994, Pelinese electronics manufacturers have substantially improved the construction quality, reliability, and flexibility of their systems while simultaneously expanding research and development into new technologies. Pelinai now currently possesses one of the most technically advanced and well-equipped electronics design and manufacturing pipelines in the world, with a high level of fixed capital resources, substantial innovation, and wide usage of sophisticated modern manufacturing techniques such as extreme ultraviolet lithography.

Semiconductors

Semiconductor production forms the core of the Pelinese electronics sector, providing both ◎19 billion in total sales volume in 2020 as well as a critical supply of intermediate components for Pelinese companies producing more complex systems: it contains a balance of integrated device manufacturers, fabless design firms, and pure play foundries 54 foundries of varying size are in active operation in Pelinai as of September 2022 and produce the vast majority of semiconductor devices consumed by Pelinese manufacturing.

Finished systems

Pelinese industry manufactures an extraordinary variety of completed electronics systems, including stationary and laptop computers, industrial computer & processor systems, handheld electronics, peripheral devices such as printers, and more.
