STS Metals is proud to welcome STS Forged Products to the STS Metals family, adding a 6,500-ton open-die forging press that significantly expands the scale and range of forging capabilities available to our customers.

The 6,500-ton press is capable of producing open-die forgings weighing up to 30 tons and measuring up to 125 inches in outside diameter and length, giving STS Metals the ability to support substantially larger and more demanding forged products.
