| Submission declined on 24 October 2024 by Curb Safe Charmer (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

History
[edit]Milwaukee Forge was incorporated as "Milwaukee Forge & Machine Co" in 1913 [2] by John B. Eckert, Charles Hartson, Arthur W. Peffer and George B. Pillar[3] with a capital stock of $ 8000 [4]. The company was established in response to the growing industrial demands in the Midwest region of the United States. Milwaukee Forge initially focused on producing high-quality metal components through forging processes for industries such as agriculture and construction.
Over the years, Milwaukee Forge expanded its operations and became a prominent supplier for the automotive and heavy machinery industries. The company has maintained its headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has continuously adapted to advances in forging technologies[5]
Acquisition and Restructuring of Milwaukee Forge
[edit]In 2010, Milwaukee Forge LLC was established following the acquisition of the longstanding hammer and closed-die steel forging operation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin[6]. The investor group responsible for the purchase was led by the company’s president and CEO, David Mesick, alongside other managers and private investors[7]. The previous ownership, Milwaukee Forge Co., filed for bankruptcy protection under Wisconsin’s Chapter 128 in response to a severe drop in business during the prolonged recession. Chapter 128, similar to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, allowed for an efficient transition of ownership while keeping the company operational.
Products and Services
[edit]Milwaukee Forge specializes in custom forgings, offering both open-die and closed-die forging techniques. These processes are used to create components with enhanced strength and durability, catering to a variety of industries, including:
- Automotive: Forged parts for engines, transmissions, and drivetrains.
- Construction: Heavy equipment parts and structural components.
- Agriculture: Components for farm machinery and equipment.
- Industrial Applications: Forgings for manufacturing equipment and tools.
