Company Headquarters: US
Founded: 1997
Workforce: ~ 100
Company Working: North American Forgemasters is a 50/50 joint venture between two privately owned 100% domestic companies, Scot Forge and ELLWOOD Group, Inc. In 2015 NAF commissioned its 10,121T open die forging press aimed at expanding the domestic capabilities and capacity for the ultra large forgings required for the advanced reactor market. NAF produces forgings too large for its JV owners ranging from as-forged weights starting at approximately 100,000 lbs to exceeding 320,000 lbs. Furthermore, NAF’s strategic location takes advantage of the ingot steelmaking facility (ELLWOOD Quality Steels) located within the same complex. The molten metal now solidified is kept hot and at NAF is forged into rings, shells, discs, heads and custom forged shapes. NAF serves as the only fully integrated manufacturer of ultra large open die forgings in the Western Hemisphere. NAF, through the continuous investments made by its JV owners, represents American manufacturing at its finest.
