Discover Current Job Opportunities Furthermore, our high school and college interns not only receive this experience but also gain an hourly wage – letting you earn income while learning about the manufacturing industry first-hand. Discover Apprentice & Internships Meet our people. Discover our spirit. View this video to learn about our unique culture. 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.

  • Casting To Forging Conversion | Scot Forge

    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.

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. Related Literature Forging Raises The Bar on Magnesium Die Casting With the help of Scot Forge and Scot Forge’s creative engineering, Sloan Industries, Inc (Wood Dale, IL) discovered that using forging, rather than casting on magnesium die casting goosenecks yielded better machine performance and part quality.

  • Hollows | Scot Forge

    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.

  • Our History | Scot Forge

    Starting as a Chicago small forge shop in 1893, today Scot Forge can forge parts weighing up to 300,000 lbs. and roll seamless rings up to 252 in diameter. Scot Forge History From Humble Beginnings Scot Forge started from humble beginnings with four brothers, looking for a better future, who traveled from the Shetland Islands in Scotland to America. They found their success in the steel industry and opened a small, six-man hammer forge shop in Chicago in 1893, under the name A. Kropp Forge. The Chicago area was booming in the 1890s, but by mid-decade a financial panic overtook the nation and in 1914, the company was bought by a group of Ryerson employees and renamed Kruse Forgings. Then, two years later, the name was changed to Atlas Forge partly as a marketing endeavor so the company would be first in the phonebook - listing are alphabetical – and by 1919, Atlas Forge moved to Cicero, Illinois. More than 60 years later a new greenfield manufacturing plant was built in Clinton, Wisconsin. This unusual plant location was due to the Cicero plant growth being hindered by a stationary noise law in Illinois. At this point, in 1977, the company name would change again to Scot Forge and a Scottish highlander became part of the corporate logo. Along with the new name came a unique sales promotional tool – the wearing of tartan apparel by the personnel. Continued growth created a need for a third manufacturing plant to be built in Spring Grove, Illinois, which became the permanent headquarters for Scot Forge. Additionally, in 1978 the owning family decided to sell the company to the Scot Forge employees starting the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The company continued to grow from 1985 to 1997. The Cicero plant moved to Franklin Park, Illinois, and Scot Forge formed two partnerships that turned into join ventures – Ringmasters and North American Forgemasters (NAF). Today, Scot Forge operates with more than 1.3 million sq.ft. of manufacturing space between the five plants and we ship more than 250 million lbs. of forgings annually. We are proud to be a 100% employee-owned manufacturer of custom, open die forgings and seamless rolled rings. In 1893, The A. Kropp Forge Company was little more than a blacksmith shop, where workers performed all tasks by hand. The Chicago area was booming in the 1890s, but by mid-decade a financial panic overtook the nation. Business did not recover until the outbreak of World War II. Demand continued after the war and into the Korean War in the early 1950s. This photo shows one of the large hammers placed into service. Prior to the use of modern, mobile manipulators and hydraulic presses, forging work was done by hand, with spider-like manual manipulating tools. This picture taken of Scot Forge employees in the Cicero Plant, shows that workers had to be strong, hardy and filled with stamina to handle the demands of the physical labor. The addition of this 8,000 lb. hammer with the innovative rotator allowed Scot Forge to enter the forged round bar market with the steel service centers. Plant and office staff pose for this 1948 photo. A. Kropp and Company had been incorporated as the Kruse Forgings company in 1914 and the name was changed to Atlas Forging Company in 1916. It wouldn't be known as Scot Forge Company until 1978, coinciding with the institution of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Why Plaid? Well, as it turns out, Pete “Spike” Georgeson ordered one tartan jacket to help him get noticed at a luncheon… and it worked! So well in fact, that he decided he needed to order a couple more jackets, so he asked for a swatch of every tartan to decide what to order. Somewhere along the line, the tailor thought he said one jacket in every tartan. Rather than returning all of the jackets Pete decided to give them to his sales team and the rest is history.

Maritime Forgings: Joe's Success Story Forging a quicker solution to expedite ship repairs and avoid costly dry dock time Improved the efficiency of production Reduced the costs of certifying products Delivered on time to avoid excess dry dock time WHAT IS ABS? The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) was chartered in 1862 to certify ship captains. Since then, it has been involved in developing and setting safety and quality standards for ships and offshore structures. ABS standards are recognized globally and are used to ensure that the materials, parts and components, and construction of vessels and marine equipment meet established safety standards. ABS works with the marine industry worldwide as they develop new technologies for constructing marine vessels and offshore structures, revising and updating its certifications to meet the changing industry needs. The Rules and Grades established by ABS for certification are written to provide standards for the design, construction, and periodic survey of marine vessels and offshore structures to promote their safe design and assembly. Materials, parts, and components used in the manufacture of marine vessels and structures must meet the set standards for the vessel or structure in which they will be used. Certifications are specified by the Rules, such as Steel Vessel Rules part 2-3-7/1, or MODU (mobile offshore drilling unit) Rules, or the material grade, such as Grade 2, or Grade 4C. The end use of the component determines the inspections and certifications required, as well as any requirements for inspections during manufacturing: Certain components used in the construction of the vessel or structure must be certified Some of those components must be certified (inspected) as they are being constructed or fabricated to verify that the construction meets ABS standards Some materials must be certified during manufacturing; this will minimize the need for additional certification during construction or fabrication Information about ABS certifications can be found at www.eagle.org . Scot Forge Difference At Scot Forge, we know the importance of getting your parts on-time, as expected.
