Forging for National Defense & Military Contracts
For many companies, finding new revenue streams is essential for 2021, so looking to markets never worked in before, such as government contracts or manufacturing for our military, may be on the horizon. For other companies, keeping up with the U.S. Military and National Defense's innovative demands could be at the forefront of the initiatives. Either way, finding and partnering with a supplier who has extensive experience with mil-specs and DOD stipulations is critical for meeting essential deadlines and requirements.
Proven Track Record with the Defense Industry
Scot Forge employee-owners are trusted partners for the U.S. Military and National Defense because of our ability to solve our military's toughest design and manufacturing challenges.

As a small business, we take it upon ourselves to offer reliable quality and repeatability to consistently demonstrate our commitment to surpassing our defense and military customers' demanding needs. In addition to these needs, we demonstrate our commitment to the United States through domestic sourcing and manufacturing.
