Steel forging
We form many grades of diverse metals into billets, bars and preforms by press forging and precision rotary forging.

Press Forging
Our 3,250-ton (2,948.350-t) Mesta press can forge 45-inch (1.150-m) diameter ingots weighing up to 20 tons (18.144 t). It features automatic size control and powerful manipulators for producing large high strength billets in round, flat or custom shapes.

Precision Rotary Forging
Latrobe’s state-of-the-art GFM precision rotary forge optimizes the reduction of ingots to a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Advanced computer controls lock in repeatability, straightness and surface quality.
