Comprehensive cold roll forming solutions engineered for precision, efficiency, and long-term industrial performance across demanding sectors.
Expert hot and cold plate forming services leveraging in-house tooling design and development to produce a wide variety of shapes cost-effectively. Our internal capacity enables rapid turnaround and competitive pricing for complex forming requirements.
In-house engineering and development of custom roll forming tooling tailored to exact profile specifications. Our metallurgical expertise ensures tooling optimized for material performance, die longevity, and consistent dimensional accuracy across production runs.
Manufacturing of precision cold-formed components for aerospace, defense, power generation, and industrial applications. Each component is produced to tight tolerances with full traceability, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding end-use environments.
In-house rough machining applied immediately after forming to bring components to near-net shape. This streamlined approach reduces lead times, minimizes handling risk, and eliminates the need to source a separate machining vendor.
Specialized normalizing heat treatment performed in-house at our Coatesville, PA facility. The process refines grain structures in formed components, delivering improved tensile strength, enhanced toughness, and consistent mechanical properties for downstream processing.
Custom-forged and specially formed products crafted to exact client specifications, including Section III applications in 316-L Stainless Steel. Manufactured under a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program encompassing Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858.
At MTS Forge, cold roll forming is more than a process — it is a precision discipline backed by 40 years of metallurgical expertise. Our in-house tooling design capability allows us to produce a diverse range of formed shapes efficiently and at competitive cost, reducing reliance on expensive bar stock machining. Serving Pennsylvania-based manufacturers and procurement teams across defense, aerospace, and power generation, we deliver formed components with complete traceability and uncompromising dimensional control.

Experienced metallurgists who built a legacy of precision and quality.
Co-Founder
Stephen Carr co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. — operating as MTS Forge — in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell. Armed with a strong metallurgical background and extensive knowledge of forging and forming practices, Stephen helped establish the company's foundational philosophy of delivering high-quality, precision-formed components to industries where failure is not an option. Over nearly four decades, his technical insight has guided MTS Forge's investment in advanced manufacturing technology and in-house tooling capabilities. Today, Stephen's legacy continues to shape how the company approaches cold roll forming, custom tooling design, and quality assurance for aerospace, defense, and power generation customers throughout Pennsylvania and across the country.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 with a vision to bring metallurgical precision and manufacturing excellence to America's most critical industries. With an extensive background in forging practices and materials science, Edward helped shape the company's commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction from day one. His engineering-minded approach to tooling design and process development has been instrumental in enabling MTS Forge to serve complex procurement requirements in aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation sectors. Under his co-leadership, the company built a reputation throughout Pennsylvania and beyond as a trusted, Made-in-America supplier of cold and hot formed components and custom-engineered forging solutions.
Cold roll forming is a continuous bending process in which a flat metal strip is passed through successive pairs of rolls to produce a desired cross-section profile at room temperature. Unlike hot forming, no heat is applied, which results in tighter dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish, and increased material strength through work hardening — making it ideal for high-precision industrial components.
