FORGE-IT builds upon the documented successes of the FORGE-IT Team and supporting processes. From the Core FORGE-IT Team we work with forging supply chain managers to exploit the benefits of forging including strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and affordability. Forgings are called upon when no other product form will do! Sometimes, however, supply chains are in need of technical and enterprise assistance, and that’s where FORGE-IT shines.
