3D material flow simulation, finite element analysis, and cutting edge engineering tools means expertise in material handling, improved process capability and scrap reduction. With ignition statistical data, closed die forming and heat treating capabilities, MFC delivers a reduced prototype, PPAP development time and precise parts, right and on time.
You don’t thrive for more than 60 years unless you’ve got a relentless commitment to making a quality product at a competitive price. Doing it right the first time is not just a company philosophy, it’s a duty realized from the engineers to the craftsman, to the maintenance team, to the front office and the CEO.
MFC QUALITY POLICY
“MFC is committed to achieving customer requirements by providing quality products that are delivered on time through the use of efficient processes and the continual improvement of our quality management system.”- September 25, 2017
We’re proud to be an industry leader and recognized by our customers as the best of the best by winning the General Motors Supplier Quality Excellence Award, the NTN Supplier of the Year, and ZF as their prestigious Metallic Supplier of the Year Award.
What started as a small hammer shop in the 1940’s, this humble family-owned operation has grown into one of the largest, most diverse forging operations in the United States. Our Meadville plant has 16 Manual and Automatic forging presses including two Erie 4000 ton presses, Bar Cutting Equipment, and a range of Heat Treat capabilities. In Cambridge Springs, our world class die making capabilities include high speed mills and lathes and production machining with over 50 turning and milling centers, induction hardening and broaching machines.
Unique In Our Capabilities
MFC Group is 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 as well as oversee all development and production while controlling costs. We are committed to delivering quality and unmatched reliability.
