Manufacturing companies in Chile
ISIC section C: Manufacturing. 132,647 records from the RES (datos.gob.cl) + SII nómina, 131,014 active, data as of 2026-08-03.
Section C, manufacturing, holds 132,647 Chilean company records as of 2026-08-03, 131,014 of them active. By region, Metropolitana de Santiago leads with 58,373 (44% of the section), followed by Valparaíso (12,397) and Biobío (10,584). The largest divisions are 10 (manufacture of food products, 28,759) and 33 (repair and installation of machinery and equipment, 21,020); 22 further divisions complete it. That is 3.9% of the Chile registry in this build.
This is the section industrial software, ERP, IIoT, logistics, trade-finance and equipment vendors buy most. Division 10 (food) and 25 (fabricated metal products) are usually the largest; 14 (apparel) and 31 (furniture) add many small workshops; 33 (repair and installation of machinery) inflates the count with small service shops, so filter it out for a pure producer list. Size and employee fields matter here more than anywhere: use them where the registry publishes them. In Chile, 100% of these rows carry an ISIC class; size is known for 45%; the registry publishes no website or e-mail; 14,312 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. An economic activity is registered for about half of Chilean RUTs, so this section undercounts companies that never registered one with the SII.
