North American Forge masters (NAF) is a 50‑50 joint venture between Scot Forge and Ellwood Group, Inc. NAF was established in 1997 to install a 4,500‑ton press in New Castle, PA, converting ingots supplied by each partner into bloom and custom open‑die forgings. Since 1997 both partners have expanded their operations, and NAF now averages more than 100,000 ingot tons per year, making it one of the most productive open‑die forgers in the world.

In 2013 the original press was rebuilt, and in 2014 the original six oxy‑fuel forge heating furnaces were replaced with five regenerative burner furnaces, providing a net heating capacity increase with lower emissions. The press is serviced by two 50‑ton mobile manipulators. The partners have invested approximately $95 million to build an open‑die press complex capable of processing forgings larger than either company’s current capacity, including a 90 MN / 10,120‑ton open‑die forging press serviced by a 205‑ton crane, a 200‑ton rail‑bound manipulator and a 100‑ton mobile manipulator.
