A Storied History

 

Located in Rockford Illinois, Forgings & Stampings, Inc. was founded in 1920.  Seven Rockford investors formed Mechanics Tool Company, which produced hand tools.  The production of hand tools was replaced by the manufacture of stampings and then bathroom scales.  Since 1940, the company has been primarily a manufacturer of impression die forgings.  The Rockford, Illinois location is comprised of the Corporate Headquarters and a 35,000 square foot manufacturing facility containing 6 forging lines.

To better meet the increasing demands of our customers, an additional manufacturing facility was opened in 1995 in Wisconsin.  Located in Delavan, the plant sits along Interstate 43, fifty miles west of Milwaukee.  The latest in equipment and technology is used in each of the 4 forging lines in this 33,000 square foot facility.  With additional plant capacity and land at this location, Forgings & Stampings is well positioned to respond to all future customer needs.
