With over 90 years of experience, Cornell Forge has developed a proven reputation in the forging industry for delivering quality and value with every project. Our family-owned business manufactures complex parts for various markets, embracing the innovative insights of our knowledgeable staff to provide our clients with unmatched service and reliability.

The team at Cornell Forge has unlimited access to the best suppliers and resources, allowing us to accommodate an array of project needs. We use our cross-industry expertise and extensive forging capabilities to create strong, durable parts that meet the precise specifications and needs of our clients while realizing the following benefits:

• Exceptional Quality
• Flexible Capacity
• Significantly Reduced Machining Times
• Reduced Material Waste
• Streamlined Production Processes

Our skilled team members have experience collaborating with clients in a wide range of industries to address their unique design challenges. We manufacture products at our facilities in Chicago, with an on-site metallurgist and engineering department to provide design consultation and oversee key processes. However, the advantages of working with us extend far beyond production. Our clients enjoy quality services every step of the way, including:

• In-House Magnaflux Inspection
• Product Traceability
• Customized Delivery Solutions
• Responsive Customer Service

This allows our clients to begin implementing our solutions sooner and reap the full benefits of our precision products.

At Cornell Forge, we utilize cutting-edge equipment and comprehensive inspection and quality control processes that take our forging work to the next level. Some of these include:

• Customer-Focused Quality Metrics. We track on-time delivery rates and other key performance indicators (KPIs) with the continual goal of improving customer satisfaction.
• Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). The inspection process verifies the ability of a supplier to manufacture parts consistently to meet the customers’ exact specifications. PPAP provides a detailed report of the inspection process of parts that occurs before, during, and after production.
• Romer Robotic Arm. Our Romer arm is used to scan dies before production and attain sample approval. It provides unsurpassed dimensional data capture and quality assurance when inspecting forged parts.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC). We use this industry-standard methodology to control and measure quality during manufacturing, obtaining process or product measurements in real time.
• Continuous Improvement Initiatives. Our team relies on customer feedback to implement improvements, with routine quality reviews and audits.

Cornell Forge is a recognized leader in metalworking with almost a century of experience behind our work. Our team offers unparalleled expertise backed by major industry certifications and quality awards.
