The Art of Precision Forging
New Hampshire Forge was started in 1980 by Bob and Phil Hof, who had formerly worked for Julius Hof & Sons, their father's forge shop. They left shortly after the shop was sold to Johnson & Johnson in order to start their own company. Bob and Phil have been in the industry for nearly 50 years and their company has a solid reputation for producing top quality surgery, cutlery, hand tool, and other closed die forgings. NH Forge has a 20,000 sq. foot facility with 8 hammers in operation and is capable of manufacturing 3,000,000 forgings annually.
Specializing in shallow cavity (.080 - 2") closed die forging, NH Forge produces precision forgings from a variety of raw materials; 300 and 400 series stainless, titanium, specialty alloys as well as general carbon steel. NH Forge has a wide range of existing patterns in stock and is also capable of producing different parts according to customer specifications. Utilizing our in house toolroom, NH Forge is able to produce tooling for a wide array of forgings to be used in many different industries.
Top quality, competitive prices, and nearly 50 years of forging experience have allowed NH Forge to become a leader in its field. Whether we are producing parts from our own patterns, helping customers create a forging to suit their particular need, or just duplication an existing forging...we look forward to serving the many industries with forging needs.
