Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986, bringing a strong metallurgical background and a wealth of forging knowledge that has guided the company's growth over nearly four decades. Edward played a foundational role in establishing the principles of quality and service that remain central to MTS Forge's identity today. His technical expertise spans a wide range of forging processes and materials, enabling MTS Forge to serve industries from commercial nuclear and defense to power generation and chemical processing. Edward's vision helped build a facility in Coatesville, PA capable of delivering carbon steel forged flanges, special forgings, and custom components with the precision and traceability that critical industry sectors demand.
Exotic alloys are high-performance metallic materials engineered to maintain superior mechanical properties — such as strength, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance — under extreme conditions. Common examples include nickel-based superalloys like Inconel and Monel, duplex stainless steels like Ferralium 255, and other specialty grades used in aerospace, defense, nuclear, and chemical processing applications where standard carbon or low-alloy steels are insufficient.
