At Cornell Forge, "Made in the USA" is a promise forged over generations.

Every product we manufacture is built with:

American steel

Skilled American hands

And an unshakable American work ethic

From our facility in Chicago, Illinois, we create the forged parts that support the industries powering this nation — from defense and rail to agriculture and energy.

This is more than manufacturing.

This is American resilience, precision, and pride — built into every strike, every mold, every part.

Let’s stand strong for U.S. manufacturing. 🔩🔥

Because when it’s Made in America, it’s made to last.

We’re excited to share that our maintenance team has successfully completed a full rebuild of our 4000-ton press. This project included IoT upgrades, a new bolster, and cell optimization to enhance its performance and efficiency.

Led by Fransisco, with outstanding contributions from Adam Piotr and Krzysztof, the team spent the past 10 months bringing this plan to life. Their hard work and attention to detail ensured the press is now back in action and better than ever.

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to our partners, GPL Industries and Campbell Inc. Press Repair, for their invaluable support throughout this project.

We’re incredibly proud of the entire team for their dedication and craftsmanship. Great work, everyone!
