The North American steel industry recognizes the value of environmental, social and economic advances and is committed to providing sustainable developments in manufacturing products that meet society’s needs. One example of such achievements is the development of forged-steel automotive parts that have proven to do all of these things.

Operating for more than a century, this company grew from a small supplier of forged products to western railroads into an important supplier of precision forgings with global reach.

A new tool design and die assembly developed in Germany has the ability to form flashless, near-net-shape forgings and pierce the workpiece all in one stroke.
