North American Forge masters (NAF) is a 50‑50 joint venture between Scot Forge and Ellwood Group, Inc. NAF was established in 1997 when an agreement between the Partner companies was made to install a 4500 ton press in New Castle, PA. Since 1997, the two Partners have grown and prospered, converting an average of more than 100,000 ingot tons per year, making NAF perhaps the most productive open‑die forger in the world.

The original press was rebuilt in 2013 and the original six oxy‑fuel forge heating furnaces were replaced in 2014 with five regenerative burner furnaces. The press is serviced by two 50 ton mobile manipulators. Additionally, the Partners have invested approximately $95 million to build an open‑die press complex with the capabilities to make open‑die forgings larger than either can make today.
