Care Harder.  ## Company Overview Operating from 2 forging manufacturing facilities, ELLWOOD City Forge Group is known worldwide as a leader in the open-die forging industry.  We manufacture concentric and eccentric contoured forgings and single cross-section products from carbon, alloy, stainless, tool steels, aluminum and nickel alloys in weights up to 70,000 pounds, lengths to 57 feet, and diameters to 135 inches. We specialize in a variety of custom forgings including shafts, blocks, eccentrics, hollow sleeves, rings, spindles, couplings, and discs, as well as smooth forged billet and rough turned bar. Our metallurgical expertise allows us to possess an overall understanding of the microstructure of heavy metallic sections over a large range of chemistries, sizes and geometries.   As a result, we serve major customers in the oil & gas, mining, power transmission, machinery, machine shop, power generation, shipbuilding, pulp & paper, automotive, infrastructure, and aerospace industries. Over our many years of business, ECFG has spent millions of dollars for new equipment and to rebuild existing equipment, as well as to expand our manufacturing spaces.  We have increased our capacity and enhanced our capabilities to keep pace with our largest and most technically demanding customers. We offer high-quality forgings, extensive manufacturing capabilities, and outstanding customer service. ELLWOOD City Forge Group is truly a world class open-die forging supplier!

To our employees, ECFG emphasizes the traditional values of hard work and innovation. Notwithstanding the decline of the once-flourishing metal-manufacturing community in the western Pennsylvania area, ECFG has remained a stable and loyal employer for more than four generations. We respect our people and reward their effort with above-average base pay and fringe benefits, along with a generous 401K Retirement Plan. Perhaps this explains why generations of family members choose to work at ECFG.  It also may explain why, unlike other metals businesses in our region, no union has ever been elected by our employees to engage in collective bargaining. Good communications and common values shared by ECFG management, its employees and customers distinguish our company from the competition and, at the same time, ensure ECFG's continuing success.
