Policy Agenda

“If it moves on land, in the air, or on the sea, it contains forgings.”

The forging industry is a vital part of the North American economy. Our annual $35 billion industry is the bedrock of the manufacturing sector, which sustains a thriving economy, thousands of high-paying jobs, and national security. The majority of our member companies are family-owned and operated facing unfair trade practices. With the united voice of our members, we are committed to bringing awareness of our policy priorities to lawmakers.

Fair Trade

The forging industry relies on fair trade practices and enforcement to compete in the marketplace. For example, dumped products from overseas create an unfair, disproportionate playing field. To prevent such acts and ensure an equitable landscape, we need favorable regulations in place.
