Innovation at FORGINAL Industrie

At FORGINAL Industrie, innovation has been at the heart of our strategy since our founding in 1967. As an independent family-owned company based in Thiers, Auvergne, we have continuously evolved to meet the specific needs of our clients and the demands of international markets.

Continuous Investment in Cutting-Edge Technologies

Each year, we invest 5% of our revenue in renewing and improving our production capabilities. This investment policy has allowed us to acquire state-of-the-art equipment, such as manual drop hammers for greater flexibility in small and medium series production, as well as next-generation induction heaters with electronic temperature traceability.

Mastery of Complex Materials

Our expertise extends to forging “difficult” materials such as Monel, Duplex, Hastelloy, and titanium. This know-how enables us to offer custom-forged parts, ranging from a few grams to 10 kg, meeting the highest standards in demanding sectors such as aerospace, medical, maritime, and defense.

Commitment to Quality and R&D

Certified ISO 9001:2015, AD 2000-Merkblatt W 0, and compliant with the European Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU, we place quality at the center of our priorities. Our research and development team works closely with clients to design innovative solutions, optimize manufacturing processes, and ensure some of the finest tolerances in the industry.

Tailor-Made Approach and Flexibility

At FORGINAL Industrie, every project is unique. We design and manufacture custom tooling for each part in-house, ensuring a perfect fit for our clients’ needs. Our internal organization is designed to provide maximum flexibility, with quick production changeovers and the ability to manufacture small series starting from just 50 pieces.

Social and Environmental Responsibility

Aware of our environmental impact, we have implemented initiatives such as dust extraction systems in our workshops and closed-loop systems for process water treatment. We also invest in training and improving working conditions for our employees, convinced that their well-being is essential to our overall performance.

In summary, innovation at FORGINAL Industrie is driven by constant investment in advanced technologies, recognized expertise in complex material processing, an unwavering commitment to quality, a personalized approach for every client, and a strong sense of social responsibility. This combination allows us to meet the most demanding technical challenges and maintain our leadership in precision forging.
