What does a forging group do in industrial manufacturing?

A forging group typically comprises multiple forging facilities or specialized divisions that manufacture metal components for industrial applications. These groups support a range of processes, including open-die forging, closed-die forging, heat treatment, and precision machining. Their primary role is to supply high-strength, reliable components used in industries such as energy, defense, infrastructure, heavy equipment, and manufacturing—where durability and performance are essential. Cornell Forge, a Chicago-based forging company, operates as part of a leading U.S. forging group and brings more than 90 years of experience in producing complex, high-integrity forged components. The company is widely recognized among American steel and metal forging manufacturers for its engineering expertise, quality standards, and consistent performance in demanding industrial applications.
