Fox Valley Forge was established 1948. The founder's goal was to provide the industry
with a quality product and superior service, to involve everyone with the customer, and
to ship on time. With these thoughts in mind, the company began with three machines and
two customers. Today we still serve those two customers and have had the opportunity to
serve hundreds of additional accounts.
Our manufacturing area covers 76,000 square feet, 10,000 of which is a fully equipped
die shop. A new 12,000 square foot secondary machining and warehouse building was opened
in 1999. We have eleven upset forging machines and plans for more expansion.
Much has changed since 1948, but those same principles that began it all still prevail.
Fox Valley Forge continues to grow with improvements in capacity, technology, and
performance. Our goal is to provide our customers with a forging facility they can
depend on for quality, delivery, and a fair price.
