Tailor-made solutions
in Cold & Warm Forging.
Cold Forging (or Warm Forging) is a wire metal forming process carried out at room temperature (the wire being either at romm temperature, either heated up to +/- 400°), by plastic deformation using punches and dies.
It is widely used for fastening parts and automotive parts, etc.
On our dedicated Samat plant, we mainly produce parts according to customer drawings.
Main advantages:
Mechanical benefits:
- Improvement of mechanical properties
The metal is cold-worked during deformation, increasing mechanical strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance. - Continuous metal fibers
Opposite to turning, the structure and the fibers of the material are not cut, which improves the strength of the parts.
Economic and productivity benefits:
- Very few raw material losses
Opposite to turning, almost no chips : waste reduction, - Very high production output
Ideal process for medium to large series production. - Global reduction of costs
Less raw material engaged, less secondary operations, short cycle times
Dimensional and quality benefits:
- High dimensional accuracy
Achieve tight tolerances and excellent repeatability. - Very good surface finish
No need or little need of additional finishing. - Complex shapes allowed
In one or several successive operations.
Energy and environmental benefits:
- No need of metal heating (opposite to forging process)
Reduced energy consumption. - Ecological and responsible process
Less waste, reduced CO2 carbon footprint

Secondary-operation machining after the Cold or Warm Forging process • Secondary-operation machining after the Cold or Warm Forging process •
Secondary-operation machining after the Cold or Warm Forging process • Secondary-operation machining after the Cold or Warm Forging process •
In order to meet the most stringent functional requirements, our parts issued from Cold Forging can undergo various finishing operations, including machining carried out with optimal precision. Thanks to our versatile machinery and our technical expertise, we carry out all secondary-operations internally.
