Everyone's An Owner Scot Forge is a 100% ESOP company where each employee, after meeting certain criteria, actually becomes an owner. Having a stake in the profitability of the company fosters a sense of responsibility to get every order correct, handle equipment properly and fully satisfy each customer. It also creates a progressive atmosphere where new and creative ideas for performing job functions are encouraged, as improvements in any area increase the value of the company and each person's share in it. An All-Salaried Workforce Scot Forge operates as an all-salaried workforce, meaning that all full-time employees (exempt and non-exempt) are afforded a 40-hour paycheck based on normal business and economic conditions. This policy has greatly contributed to a "team spirit of equality" among all employee-owners. A Culture Of Continuous Improvement Scot Forge is a real practitioner of the "continuous improvement process." There is an actual "CIP Leader" whose job is to train employee-owners in how to work on problem solving teams and to understand how valuable and important each of their contributions are to the success of the company. Earn While You Learn CNC Machine Operator Internship - Just one of the development opportunities offered at Scot Forge! Recognizing & Rewarding Service For every five years of service, employee-owners are publicly recognized at an awards dinner and, depending on the length of service, receive jeweled Highlander pins, pens, watches or cash. Additionally, in honor of ESOP founder and Chairman of the Board Peter Georgeson, our Peter I. Georgeson Awards recognize fellow workers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty for the past year. At the annual awards dinner, winners from six categories are recognized and publicly awarded a bronzed Scottish drum major statue and a bronze medallion to put on their hard hats or have framed. Consider, now, a seamless hollow-core Scot Forge forging that is forged at elevated temperatures with dynamic recrystallization (the immediate formation of stress-free grains upon deformation). The stresses introduced during forging to produce the cylindrical shape are immediately removed through the recrystallization of the crystal structure, resulting in an essentially stress-free forging. Consequently, a rolled and welded assembly possesses significantly higher residual stress than a forged seamless cylinder (hollow-core). Furthermore, no thermal stresses from welding are introduced during formation of the cylinder as a seamless forged hollow-core, unlike the rolled and welded plate method. To summarize, the Scot Forge seamless hollow-core forging is far more stable and possesses a higher degree of structural integrity (no welds!) than a rolled and welded cylinder assembly for an often lower overall cost. Proudly Plaid In 1977, the company's name was changed from Atlas Forgings to Scot Forge, and a Scottish highlander became part of the corporate logo. Not only did the new name reflect then-owner Pete Georgeson's cultural roots, it brought a friendlier, more personal image to mind. Along with the new name came a unique sales promotional tool—the wearing of tartan jackets, ties, kilts, scarves and other clothing by the employees. Today, Scot Forge employees are recognized in a crowd with their trademark plaids, and it has brought a certain pride to the employee-owners to be recognized as a member of the "Scot Forge family." Showing Our True Colors An in-house "store" carries casual clothing for men, women, children - and even babies - with the Scot Forge logo embroidered or silk-screened on virtually everything from sweatshirts to "kilt liner" shorts. In addition to the traditional tartan jackets and kilts worn for company functions, employee-owners and their families often display their company pride by wearing this casual Scot Forge logo-wear after working hours. Working Together, Playing Together Scot Forge builds camaraderie among its employee-owners with a variety of social events including annual picnics, golf outings, bowling competitions, canoe trips, and Christmas parties. Opportunities To Learn & Grow Tuition reimbursement and educational incentive programs allow employees the opportunity for advanced skills and knowledge through education and training. Scot Forge reimburses employee-owners classes taken and awards $250 for completing 40 hours of education in a calendar year. These programs give employee-owners incentive to improve oneself and put them in a better position for advancement. The programs promote the importance of education to the individual as well as the organization. Taken together, these and many other corporate programs and policies foster an environment where the employee-owners naturally want to work towards the common Scot Forge goal of providing total customer satisfaction. It is often said that people make the difference and that is especially so at Scot Forge. The combined creativity, enthusiasm, talent and team spirit shown by the employee-owners forms the basis for Scot Forge's success and leadership in the forging industry. Committed To Safety Because We Care Our employee-owners take pride in delivering quality products, on-time, without compromising safety or adversely affecting the environment. By combining teamwork with continuous improvement, we have created a culture focused on sending each employee home uninjured every day. Year after year, Scot Forge is recognized by OSHA and the Forging Industry Association for our outstanding safety performance because each year we purposefully strive to be safer and better than we have ever been before. In 2019, we were recognized by EHS Today Magazine as one of America's Safest Companies.

Consider casting conversions for stronger, more sound and technically superior components and a better supply-chain solution. Advantages of Converting Casting to Forgings Why Forging Over Other Methods? Everyday economic and competitive threats, along with part failures, warranty issues and reputational impact drive manufacturing decision magkers to seek metalworking alternatives. SCOT FORGE EVALUATES CONVERSIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. We consider various factors, including the ability to redesign a product as well as the design requirements for the end-use application. Often, this requires engineers to challenge traditional methods and consider new technological advances. CASTING CONVERSIONS CAN FREQUENTLY LOWER TOTAL COSTS. Forgings usually target a lower total cost when compared to a casting or fabrication. When we evaluate cost factors, such as product life-cycle costs from procurement, lead time and rework, as well as costs of scrap, downtime and further quality issues and opportunity costs, the long-term benefits of forgings can far outweigh the short-term cost-savings of castings or fabrications. FORGING FOR COST REDUCTIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE Reducing manufacturing costs. Improving part performance. Minimizing material waste The Scot Forge customer value engineering team brings the knowledge of custom forging experts to work in your plant, helping you to achieve long-term cost reductions, enhanced part performance and improved lead times through: Near-net shape parts not previously available Component reduction - weldment elimination Optimizing your specifications and manufacturing practices Computer simulations to design parts to take advantage of forged properties Customizing alloy development and thermal treatments for your application Optimizing your specifications and manufacturing practices Consider Forgings Forging is a viable solution to your problem if you find yourself in any of these situations: Your component serves as a critical part of a product’s design The current design continually causes issues from your customer’s perspective You waste valuable time and materials on questionable castings Significant warranty issues Fast delivery and breakdown services You could be working on other projects versus re-machining parts (i.e. opportunity cost) The long lead times for the casting design result in downtime and lost revenue You spend considerable time searching for casting patterns or manufacturers You have design control over the end-use product Possible Problems With Castings Casting may be the best option for some applications, but when robustness in design is required many turn to forgings. From porosity to material inconsistencies, casting can cause more problems than solutions. But you can solve these problems by working with our employee-owners, we have advanced forging technology and the expertise to produce forgings for applications that require more complex shapes. Consider converting castings to forgings for stronger, more sound and technically superior components and a better supply-chain solution.

Working together, our companies will create a lasting partnership—a partnership that is focused on getting you high-quality products, meeting your time constraints and helping your company be better prepared to go to market. Forging Conversion Profit Improvement: Construction equipment manufacturer A customer’s product had a long history of issues due to poor casting quality. Working with Scot Forge, they were able to transition the casting to a forging which removed all re-work and weld repair from their process and allowed them to provide a better component to their customer. This saved an average of seven (7) processing hours per piece. Defense contractor Scot Forge collaborated with a customer to convert a 22 piece fabrication into a two (2) piece forging design, saving over 500 hours in welding costs per unit. Mining equipment manufacturer Our customer’s casting supplier was not able to meet their production demand due to significant weld repair issues, resulting in a potential loss of a significant amount business. Scot Forge was able to provide a solution that met the customer’s demand and delivery requirements at a lower total cost than the casting, saving money and defending business. Forging Conversion Part Improvement: Product/application Rotor arm Material Alloy Steel Previous processing problems The previous process was a casting. The cast part, because of its lack of directional grain flow, did not have the required strength for the demanding application. Due to the lack of strength, part failures were occurring in the field, and the part had a short life span. Costly repairs and maintenance were necessary because of the frequent failures. Forging as the solution Today the part is forged as a one-piece forging. Forging provides a continuous grain flow which ensures high strength, integrity, and longevity. The improved strength has minimized part failures, as well as the need for repair and maintenance. Product/\application Centrifuge bowl Material Stainless Steel Previous processing problems The part was previously centrifugally cast. The customer required a stronger, more resilient centrifuge able to withstand heavy wear and tear, so production could be increased. To manufacture a stronger centrifuge as a centrifugal casting, the RPMs would have to be increased, and the higher loading would have exceeded the attainable properties of the material. The centrifugal casting tooling charge and process costs were expensive, and a stronger centrifuge required a more costly material. Forging as the solution Today the part is manufactured as a near net forging. Forging permitted the design change to a stronger centrifuge, while maintaining the customer's original alloy choice. The ability to handle increased service requirements due to a stronger centrifuge allowed the customer to increase production by 15% The forging cost for the improved centrifuge was 24% lower than the original centrifugal casting. Product/application Hub for a steel mill rolling application Material Alloy Steel Previous processing problems The part was originally a casting Casting failed to meet critical surface requirements, resulting in scrapped parts. At times, inclusions were not found until after extensive finish machining. Forging as the solution Today the part is produced by forging. The hub is now produced by forging and torch cutting. The part has higher strength and structural integrity due to forging's continuous grain flow. The use of cleaner, forging-quality material eliminated surface quality problems and rejections. Ensuring longevity Reducing cost Meeting surface requirements Make Scot Forge Your Forging Partner The knowledge and experience of our engineers, metallurgists and forging experts work in collaboration with your team, helping you to achieve long-term success. Rather than dismissing the idea as impractical or impossible, call on us to help enlighten you and your team of the technical and/or economic merits of any particular conversion project. We will devote as many resources as needed to provide a thorough review and subsequent proposed solution to your casting or fabrication problems.

Scot Forge produces hollow tube-like forgings in diameters up to 90" with an as-forged 3" minimum wall thickness and up to 360" long or 100,000 lbs., in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Hollow Tube Forgings Hollow Tube Forgings Why Forged Hollows? At Scot Forge, we offer a better option than - solid steel bars require boring; steel tubes that frequently need excess machining; or castings that often do not meet internal part strength specifications. We produce hollow tube-like forgings in diameters up to 90" with a 2" minimum wall thickness and up to 360" long or 300,000 lbs., in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Why Forged Hollows?

FORGE CONSULTATION SERVICES FORGED PRODUCTS Forged Hollow Tube Advantages Cutting waste Reduced machining Improved integrity FORGE CONSULTATION SERVICES FORGED PRODUCTS Hollows Process Highlights Forging a hollow tube begins by making an upset preform, then punching a hole through the center. The preform is then drawn out over a mandrel to the specified length and O.D./I.D. configuration. Various Shapes Hollows can be produced not only in a straight cylindrical shape but with unlimited variations of O.D.s and I.D.s, including tapers. We also provide closed-end cylinders, both with and without flanges, in various wall thicknesses and cylinder end configurations to accommodate our customers' requirements. Forged Hollows Time & Cost Savings Because the inside diameter of the hollow is forged rather than bored from a solid bar, Scot Forge eliminates the need for additional machining, customers save time, money and reduce material waste. Scot Forge saves production time and increases part strength for customers by producing hollow parts, such as flange hollows, as single components rather than several components welded together.

We create precision-crafted, forged solutions for renewable energy structures and components, critical for solar, geothermal, wind, hydro and biomass. When quality can't be compromised, in an industry that demands parts withstand the harshest environments, OEMs turn to Scot Forge. TURBINES FORGE ENGINEERING Keeping power flowing to homes and businesses is vital for everyday life and economic strength. Generating billions in commercial activity, the renewable energy industry, backed by clean energy initiatives, brings countless opportunities for the innovation, manufacturing and export of green energy technology. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and bioenergy are all renewable energy resources that can capitalize on the inherently superior properties of forgings. Renewable Energy Forged Parts Whether the application is wind, hydro, biomass or solar, we provide forged shapes, which come with the inherent benefits of forgings, for renewable energy turbines, generators, compressors, gearboxes, heat exchangers and blowers. Rings (Full/Segmented): Diaphragms, stators, spacers, retainers, motor ends, shear resistances, locks, seals, adapter or spherical seats, flanges and sleeves Shafts: rotors, Generators and turbines Discs and Hubs: Covers, wheels, suction/discharge end caps, adapters, impellers, tube sheets and nozzles Complex Shapes: Bucket/fan blade stock and turbine blades Additional Shapes: Casings, spacers, centrifuge bowls, bearing blocks, shells and transition cones Wind Power Whether you are farming wind on land or have an off-shore wind project, we forge American-made components from US materials. Including the essential parts in the nacelle (gearbox, high-speed shaft, low-speed shaft and brake), the yaw drive for upwind turbines (shaft and gear) and tower components for both downwind and upwind turbines. Biomass Power Converting biomass to energy is done through various processes such as direct combustion, thermochemical, chemical and biological conversion – to create solid, gaseous and liquid fuels. The need for components to withstand high heat, pressure and caustic environments during these processes makes forgings an ideal choice for biomass power production. At Scot Forge, we have experience manufacturing forgings for kiln components, much like those used in the pyrolysis process and reactor components, like those needed for the hydrotreating process, to produce bio-oil, biodiesel, renewable gas and renewable jet fuel. Geothermal Power At Scot Forge, our expertise in markets relatable to the geothermal power extraction process makes us an ideal manufacturing partner for forging geothermal power generation components. Converting the Earth's natural heat into energy involves many parts we are familiar with, from forged bar used in drilling for steam to blades for turbines, shafts for generators and blanks for gearboxes. Hydropower Hydropower is converting water's kinetic energy into electricity. All but two states (Delaware and Mississippi) use hydropower in their energy mix. With decades of experience manufacturing components for turbines, we can support your project whether you are working with impulse turbines or reaction turbines. Many forgings like rings, discs and shafts are ideal for components such as blades, wheels and driveshafts for both turbines and generators. Solar Energy Solar energy is critical to the energy mix with a couple of energy harvesting methods. First, by exciting electrons, using panels allows for the collection and transfer of energy. Another technique uses heliostats to reflect the sun's rays and use thermal processes to heat water or salt and transfer energy. Solar energy harvesting employs turbines, and solar panels frequently require gearing in the manufacturing process, which are great applications for forgings.

Advantages of Forgings & Forging Processes Forging 101 - What Is Forging? At its most basic level, forging is the process of forming and shaping metals through the use of hammering, pressing or rolling. The process begins with starting stock, usually a cast ingot (or a "cogged" billet which has already been forged from a cast ingot), which is heated to its plastic deformation temperature, then upset or "kneaded" between dies to the desired shape and size. In the next several pages, you can learn the basics about the open die and rolled ring forging process, its applications and benefits. STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGES ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES Comparative Analysis We know that you have many options for manufacturing your key components so here is a brief overview of: Forgings v. Machined Bar Forging v. Weldments/Fabrications Forging v. Castings Forging v. Centrifugal Castings Forging v. Torch Cut Plate Forging v. Closed Die/ Impression Forging Metal Forging Process When buyers must select a process and supplier for the production of a critical metal component, they face an enormous array of possible alternatives. Many metalworking processes are now available, each offering a unique set of capabilities, costs and advantages. The forging process is ideally suited to many part applications; however, some buyers may be unaware of the exclusive benefits available only from this form of metal forming. In fact, forging is often the optimum process, in terms of both part quality and cost, especially for applications that require maximum part strength, custom sizes or critical performance specifications. There are several forging processes available, including impression or closed die, cold forging, and extrusion. However, here we will discuss in detail the methods, application and comparative benefits of the open die and seamless rolled ring forging processes. We invite you to consider this information when selecting the optimum process for the production of your metal parts. A historical perspective on metal forging To meet the changing needs of industry, forging has evolved to incorporate the tremendous advances in equipment, robotics, computers and electronic controls that have occurred in recent years. These sophisticated tools complement the creative human skills which, even today, are essential to the success of every metal forging made. Modern forging plants are capable of producing superior-quality metal parts in a virtually limitless array of sizes, shapes, materials and finishes. During this hot forging process, the cast, coarse grain structure is broken up and replaced by finer grains. Shrinkage and gas porosity inherent in the cast metal are consolidated through the reduction of the ingot, achieving sound centers and structural integrity. Mechanical properties are therefore improved through reduction of cast structure, voids and segregation. Forging also provides means for aligning the grain flow to best obtain desired directional strengths. Secondary processing, such as heat treating, can also be used to further refine the part. Forging can create a myriad of sizes and shapes with enhanced properties when compared to castings or assemblies.

Manufacturing is a great field for a variety of reasons. Learn more about what you can earn and save by choosing a career in manufacturing! Why Manufacturing? Thinking About A Career In Manufacturing? Manufacturers represent the backbone of the innovation economy and do most of the nation's Research and Development. They employ many skilled workers, from engineers and programmers to technicians and logistics managers. They are a major source of employment. FACTS ABOUT MANUFACTURING WHY CHOOSE MANUFACTURING Useful Education Manufacturing-Focused Skills Math for technicians Safety Hand tools Electrical systems Blueprint reading Power tools Lean manufacturing Measurement and quality control Pneumatics Hydraulics Sensor technology Robotics Material handling Computer integrated manufacturing Millions of Future Jobs According to a study by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed and two million are expected to go unfilled due to the gap between the talent manufacturers’ need to keep growing their businesses and the talent they can actually find. A Better, Safer Work Environment A large cause of the gap is a lack of knowledge and understanding about what a career in manufacturing actually looks like. The stereotype over the years has been that work is monotonous and factories are dark, dirty and dangerous places. The truth is that manufacturing plants are very technologically advanced places and a lot of the work that is manufactured is highly mechanized. Lucrative Careers, Not Just Jobs Unlike many other industries that only provide jobs, manufacturing provides careers. Educators, administrators and staff need to realize not all students are bound for college and a four-year degree. Instead, they need to understand alternatives where people can earn a good living wage without straddling themselves with debt. Many intelligent individuals struggle with traditional high school learning and test-taking. These students are more visual learners and tend to be mechanically inclined. Careers such as a machinist, a tool and die maker or a welder are critical jobs that can be very lucrative due to their high demand, and students have the ability to earn a great wage and start their career right out of high school. Avoid Crippling Debt Research conducted by the Idaho Department of Labor found that the average bachelor’s degree in the United States costs $127,000! Additionally, nearly 70 percent of students take out loans to help pay for school. According to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), the average 2016 college graduate has over $37,000 in student loan debt and an average monthly student loan repayment of over $350. Manufacturing can provide students with a bright future filled with opportunity and success. It can enhance a student’s potential to specialize in lucrative career fields, provide a clean and technical work environment, help advance the U.S. economy and offer paths to additional industry credentials. Working with high-technology equipment, being a part of an important industry and entering into a field with opportunity instead of debt are a few benefits of choosing a career in manufacturing. Emphasis On Career Readiness Educators shoulder the responsibility to prepare college-bound students to be “college-ready;” however, they also need to emphasize “career ready” equally. Schools need to reinforce and be comfortable with the statement: “It’s OK to not get a traditional 4-year degree.” After graduation, students need to learn about their options; schools should be driven to provide students with the resources necessary to develop them into productive members of the workforce and society. Manufacturing Careers In High Demand Careers in manufacturing are expected to increase at a rate of 10 percent over the next seven years according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those careers range from assembly and fabrication to computer programming, sales and more. Some manufacturing jobs require certifications and some require degrees, and all are equally important. Whether an individual wants a hands-on job in manufacturing or is interested in behind-the-scenes logistics, there are vast opportunities within the manufacturing sectors —specific industry knowledge can help them pursue many possibilities. Many of the skills learned are applicable to other jobs in the broad manufacturing field. This can make it easier to find jobs and provides more opportunities for career advancement. Earn While You Learn Manufacturing, a highly technical trade, provides higher-than-average wages and benefits for employees. At Scot Forge, we offer our employees up to $5,000 a year to cover all costs of pre-approved undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degree level programs if they wish to pursue a higher-education degree.
