Scot Forge Difference

At Scot Forge, we know the importance of getting your parts on time, as expected. However, for customers new to procuring forgings, ordering a forging that will meet all specifications for end-use applications may be challenging, so finding a trusted supplier and partner is essential. Our employee-owners are here to ensure your project stays on track with our forgings by offering:

Pro Tip - Did you know near-net shapes can save you time and money? Oftentimes, a customer calls to order a disc, which they will later machine down to a more shaped part. By working with our technically trained sales team, you can get your finished product shape as close as possible to optimize your production process.
