Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. in 1986, bringing a metallurgical background and extensive knowledge of forging practices that became the cornerstone of MTS Forge's technical reputation. Together with Stephen Carr, Edward built the company from the ground up based on principles of quality, precision, and service excellence. His expertise in material behavior and forging methodology has shaped the company's ability to tackle complex, high-specification forgings in demanding alloys including stainless steels, high-performance nickel alloys, and duplex grades. Edward's commitment to continuous improvement and investment in state-of-the-art forging equipment has positioned MTS Forge as a trusted partner for defense, aerospace, and commercial nuclear procurement teams requiring traceable, certified components.
MTS Forge works with a broad range of materials including alloy steels, stainless steels (such as 316-L), high-performance nickel alloys like Monel K-500, and duplex stainless steels like Ferralium 255. We can accommodate nearly all commercially available grades for upset forgings, rings, and cylinders, and our metallurgical expertise ensures proper material handling throughout the forging process.
