Forging is everywhere — and Forging Day on October 9 is our chance to show it.

FIA is encouraging member companies to open their doors, tell their stories and highlight the people, technology and careers that power the forging industry.

Forging Day is a great opportunity to connect with students, educators, policymakers and your local community while showcasing the essential role forgings play in transportation, defense, energy, infrastructure, agriculture and more.

Whether you host a plant tour, career day, classroom visit, employee spotlight or social media campaign, your participation helps raise awareness of the forging industry and inspire the next generation of manufacturing talent.

Let’s make forging visible.

FIA Magazine is excited to introduce Faces of Forging, a new feature created to celebrate the people, teams, facilities and moments that reflect the strength of the forging industry.

Every company has its own story, and at the heart of every story are the people who make the work possible. From the shop floor to milestone celebrations, Faces of Forging highlights the pride, craftsmanship, teamwork and commitment that define FIA member companies across North America.

The first feature includes photos from FRISA, US Drop Forge and Walor North America, showcasing the skill, scale and human side of forging operations. (www.FIAMagazine.com)

We invite FIA members to submit recent photos for consideration in upcoming issues of FIA Magazine. Team photos, plant images, milestone moments and candid shots that capture your company culture are all welcome.

Help us celebrate the many faces of forging.

Data is powerful — especially when it reflects the real-world experience of the forging industry.

FIA’s Benchmarking Surveys give members access to forging-specific insights they simply can’t find anywhere else. From monthly Orders & Shipments data to compensation and benefits information and injury and illness reporting, these tools help FIA members make more informed decisions about operations, workforce planning, safety, capacity and market trends.

Participation matters.

The more FIA members contribute, the stronger and more useful the data becomes for everyone. These confidential, members-only programs help build a clearer picture of what is happening across the North American forging industry — including demand trends, market shifts, workforce benchmarks and operational performance.

Learn more and participate: https://www.forging.org/fia/content/benchmarking/Benchmarking_Surveys.aspx?hkey=5677b55c-0aa2-4de3-a6f3-341f4645a8ed

Forging starts with curiosity — and sometimes, with a children’s book.

The Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation (FIERF) created the Forging with Freddy book series to help introduce kids to the world of forging in a fun, approachable and imaginative way. Through colorful storytelling, Freddy helps young readers discover how forged parts are made, where they show up in everyday life, and why manufacturing matters.

These books are a great resource for families, schools, community events and anyone looking to spark early interest in STEM, skilled trades and advanced manufacturing.

Even better, proceeds support FIERF’s mission to strengthen the future workforce of the forging industry through education, scholarships and student engagement.

Help inspire the next generation of makers, engineers and problem-solvers.
