Forging Capabilities
Combining the latest in engineering and simulation software with hammer and press machinery.
Carbo Forge is a closed-die impression forging company that services its customers with quality steel forgings using a “high production job shop” mentality. This high-production, job-shop mentality affords the flexibility for our forging company to take on business ranging in quantity from 5,000 pieces to upwards of 1 million+ parts per part number. Utilizing both press and hammer machinery, Carbo Forge can forge a wide variety of configurations maxing out at the 15-pound gross weight of forging.
This forging flexibility has led to a diverse customer portfolio with an assortment of industries served. Additionally, having the proactive vision and inclination to adopt and implement new systems and technology has led to a comprehensive understanding of process and quality control.
