Withheld means Census suppressed the figure because publishing it would disclose an individual establishment. The line itself is never suppressed — only the numbers on it.
The U.S. Census Bureau recorded this product line in 8 US manufacturing industries in the 2022 Economic Census, as the most specific line those industries reported. At least 110 establishments reported producing it; the count for 1 of those industries was withheld.
These are counts of establishments by industry: the Economic Census publishes them as industry totals and never as a list of plants.
