Raw Materials and Semi-Finished Products

Raw Materials and Semi-Finished ProductsRaw materials and semi-finished products are the essential building blocks of industrial production, serving as the foundation for creating finished goods. Raw materials, such as metals, minerals, wood, and agricultural products, are extracted or harvested directly from natural sources. Semi-finished products, on the other hand, are partially processed materials—like steel sheets, textile fabrics, or chemical compounds—that require further manufacturing before becoming final products. Together, they ensure a smooth flow in the supply chain, enabling industries to transform basic resources into high-value goods while optimizing efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
