Certifications

Risk assessment is an important consideration when choosing a forge shop partner. This is especially true for first time customers, but also for long-time clients looking for a new part or prototype. Therefore, finding a forge shop with the right certifications is key.

For example, these systems prove that a forge shop’s products and operations meet set industry standards and best practices. Earning certifications is not easy. Companies must provide detailed paperwork, complete challenging interviews, and be verified by regular audits and inspections to earn and maintain certifications. Holding key certifications means that the forge shop proactively assesses its operations, quality, and production, and therefore can troubleshoot an issues appropriately before they become a problem.
