The employee-owned forge will add its largest press to date at the Illinois campus, extending reach into larger shafts for the power and defense markets.

The five-year indefinite-delivery contract goes to a consortium led by General Dynamics OTS and underwrites two new forging presses in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.

The five-year contract with a consortium of US forging houses locks in supply for Pratt & Whitney's F135 engine through the mid-2030s.
