Forging
Closed-die and upset forging with in-house die design and machining; larger forgings and heat treatment routed through trusted specialist partners.
Overview
Our forge shop handles closed-die and upset work on hammers and mechanical presses up to 2,500 t, with in-house die design, machining and inspection. Larger forging components and all heat treatment — quench & temper, normalize, anneal and induction hardening — are outsourced through trusted specialist partners we have worked with for years. We manage the whole package, so every lot ships with full material traceability and a single quality record, without the hand-off risk.
Typical applications
- Coupler and draft-gear parts
- Track and turnout components
- Bucket teeth and adapters
- Lifting eyes and shackles
- Crank and linkage forgings

Also in-house
CNC milling
3-, 4- and 5-axis milling of prismatic and complex parts, from prototypes to 100k-part production runs.
CNC turning
Bar-fed and chucking lathes with live tooling for shafts, pins, bushings and rotational parts up to Ø600 mm — 480 000+ parts per year.
Insulated railway joints
Manufactured insulated rail joints for track circuits and signalling isolation, built to take repeated wheel loads.
Recoverable anchor screws
Recoverable roof- and side-anchor screws for underground support — engineered to be installed, loaded and withdrawn intact.
Thread whirling
Whirling of high-quality heavy-duty threads — typically acme or trapezoidal — on long lengths from Ø25 to Ø105 mm, up to 2.2 m.
Thread rolling
Cold-rolled external threads up to M64 — strong, smooth, precise and uniform forms produced with no chip loss.
Hot-forged bolts
Hot-forged bolt blanks and special fasteners from forged bar, with rolled threads and full material traceability.
Toolmaking
Design, manufacture and maintenance of dies, fixtures, jigs and gauges — the tooling that keeps production running.
Industrial fasteners / thread machining
Standard and special industrial fasteners from 20 mm diameter up, with thread machining — cutting, chasing and grinding — to drawing.
