How to read SIC 26511
SIC 26511 reads as division 26 (manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products), group 265, class 2651, then the full five digits, inside section C, manufacturing. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 26511 is the company's own description of what it does, and 1,315 list it first where 1,493 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 26
Component distributors, contract electronics manufacturers, PCB fabricators and test equipment suppliers sell into this division constantly. Specialist recruiters do too, because embedded and RF engineering skills are scarce.

Is a company that designs but does not manufacture electronics in division 26?
Frequently yes, and that is a known blur in the classification. A fabless design house often files a division 26 code because that is where its product sits, even though the physical work is contracted out. Some use 71129 engineering design instead. Match on any SIC position and expect both.
