Press Forge - Facilities

The Plant

With over 8 acres of land at our Paramount, CA location, Press Forge has continued to expand our facilities as our customers’ needs have increased.

Our three forge shops contain 68,000 square feet of manufacturing area, and billet grinding is housed in more than 11,000 square feet of separate buildings. Maintenance, Engineering, and storage facilities comprise an additional 65,000 square feet under roof. Extensive hand grinding, dye check, and inspection facilities utilize numerous open-air structures throughout the plant.

We have the space to stock hundreds of our customers’ ingots and billets on site to facilitate a rapid turn-around of product and still have additional space for future expansions.

Equipment

Press Forge is focused on open-die forging conversion. Our equipment is specifically designed to cover the widest possible range of sizes and shapes. All of our open-die presses are CNC controlled with identical software for maximum press operator flexibility.
