A Different Kind Of Forging Company

What makes the three businesses of the MFC Group - Meadville Forging, Virginia Forge and Carolina Forge - unique within the industry? And how do these distinctions translate into meaningful advantages for customers? Here are some of the criteria we believe matter most to those we serve.

Total Capabilities

We're unique in our capabilities: engineering and design, die-making, forging, heat treating and machining. With in-house services from start to finish, we can meet demanding schedules and oversee all development and production while controlling costs.

Technology Leader

In the industry, we have a reputation for innovation: as one of the few forgers to use pulse-plasma ion-nitriding to increase die life; as a pioneer in the use of robotics in machining; as developer of a vertical press considered to be the most advanced, highly automated of its kind.

Quality

Doing it right the first time is our philosophy. Spectrometry on all shipments of raw steel ensures that steel chemistry meets our production requirements. Positive heat control monitors billet temperature before forging and rejects those above and below the right temperature. Statistical process control charts critical part characteristics throughout production.

Financial Success

From a small hammer shop founded in the 1940s, MFC Group has grown to become one of the most diverse forging operations in the country. We are solid financially and well-positioned to make continued investments in the company. Steady sales growth reflects sustained customer confidence in our ability to deliver over the long term.

Cost Consciousness

Controlling our bottom line is one of the best things we can do for customers. It's why we've involved every single member of the MFC team in cost-cutting activities in recent years. Among the steps we've taken: reorganizing shifts to minimize the use of electricity during peak hours, and organizing teams whose efforts have brought significant reductions in scrap and set-up time.

Customer Service

At MFC, it's everyone's responsibility to listen and respond quickly to customer wants and needs. Fast prototyping and flexible scheduling are just two examples of our commitment to customer service beyond the norm. We work closely with our customers to continuously improve our product and service. We combine our improvement efforts with customer programs to ensure the best possible results.
