Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 alongside Stephen Carr, building the company on a foundation of quality, service, and deep metallurgical expertise. Edward's background in metallurgy and forging practices has been central to developing MTS Forge's technical capabilities, including its in-house tooling design, contour forging processes, and heat treatment services. His vision for precision manufacturing has guided the company's investment in cutting-edge technology and the cultivation of a highly skilled team of forging associates. Today, Edward's legacy is evident in every carbon steel forged pipe fitting that leaves the Coatesville, PA facility—components engineered to meet the exacting requirements of aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation customers worldwide.
A forged steel fitting is a pipe fitting manufactured by shaping heated steel under high compressive force using dies or presses, rather than casting or machining from bar stock. This process aligns the metal's grain structure to the component's shape, producing fittings with superior tensile strength, pressure resistance, and fatigue performance compared to cast or machined alternatives—making them preferred in high-pressure and critical industrial piping systems.
